A Message
From the
President
The past year has been an extraordinarily good one for
Tulane. For whatever reason, most members of the Tu-lane
community were happier to be here this year than at
any time during the recent past, and prouder as well.
The factors contributing to the heightened sense of
community are too numerous for me to list, but a few
deserve mention . The football team's remarkable success
brought us together in a new way last fall and reminded us
of all the other exciting things going on at Tulane. We also
received substantial challenge grants from the Mellon
Foundation and the National Endowment for the Hu-manities,
grants whose effects will soon be visible
throughout the University.
One of our students received a Luce Fellowship, the
first we have ever received, and another Tulanian was a
finalist in the competition. A third student received a
Thomas Watson Fellowship. These awards, coming on
topof our first Rhodes Scholarship and Nobel Prize, both
awarded in the last three years, are clear indications that
the academic community recognizes our strong claim to
national prominence. There is a sense of forward move-ment
on the Tulane campus, movement captured and
preserved in The Jambalaya. Enjoy it.

Tulane University, like the city to which it is
undeniably bound, combines a desire to uphold
the traditions of the past with a commitment to
prepare for the future. Students continually
evaluate the university and their input is vital to
its development. The 1979-80 school year has
been a period of growth for Tulane, as students
and adminstrators, united by a contagious en-thusiasm,
have substantially improved the
school.

Coming back to school in August is always reas-suringly
typical for upperclassmen. Fraternity
members invade Butler and J.L. dorms, staggering
under the weight of suitcases, offering their porter
services in hopes of picking up tips, or preferably
phone numbers. As upperclassmen, we greet
each other, grumbling about the humidity, sum-mer
jobs, and the hordes of incoming freshmen
that have invaded the campus. Orientation
leaders walking around with groups of freshmen
look like they wish someone would ask a ques-tion.
Torrential rain during registration officially
starts the new semester.
Earlier in August, Tulane fell under the national
spotlight because of a Playboy article entitled
"Sex and the Sons of the South." Lewd exploits of
Newcomb coeds were alluded to at length, and
the University was portrayed as a sexual haven for
"southern gentlemen." Most people affiliated
with the Tulane community found this pretty
amusing, but some students are still frantically
searching for the promiscuity they read about.
Our arrival on campus is not completely pleas-ant.
Overcrowded housing has forced many A&S
students to triple up in already small doubles, and
transfer women have been placed in Dominican
College dorms. Even the U.C. quad cannot pro-vide
escape, as it has been closed for reseeding.
Our spirits remain undaunted though, and early
semester partying is truly underway. The Boot and
Tin Lizzie's are quickly reestablished as the cam-pus
hangouts, and Greek parties provide more en-tertainment.
Sleep is of little importance.
Tanned and healthy-looking from the summer,
we walk to class barefoot, carrying around books
and notebooks not yet marred by the effects of an
"all-nighter." WTUL blasts from dorm room
speakers. Dogs, ignoring the "keep off sign, lay
on the quad in the sun, and we al I look towards the
new semester with anticipation.

Crime continues to be a major problem in
the uptown area and early in the month, an
L.S.U. student is raped outside the Delta Tau
Delta house. An assailant dubbed "The Kis-sing
Bandit" accosts several Newcomb stu-dents
and other uptown females, forcing them
to kiss him, and then fleeing. Tulane security,
taking all conceivable steps to protect the stu-dents,
institues a shuttle bus service for those
who would otherwise have to walk alone at
night. Additionally, Tulane increases the
campus police force, initiates Operation Stu-dent
Alert, and improves campus lighting. On
campus, at least, students can generally feel
safe.
The administration is also experiencing
some turmoil. Keith Rush of WSMB radio ac-cuses
President F. Sheldon Hackney of dis-missing
nineteen members of the faculty be-cause
they signed an anti-athletic petition.
Hackney categorically denied these allega-tions,
but Rush refuses to rescind his state-ments.
The Board of Administrators present
Hackney with another setback in the form of a
"no confidence" vote in Vice-President of
Development Gary Bayer. Bayer, one of
Hackney's early appointees is forced to re-sign,
against the wishes of the President. Stu-dents
and faculty alike speculate as to who is
really in charge of Tulane's affairs.

The Tulane football season starts off surprisingly
'well. Most of the fans attending the opening game
against Stanford do not really expect the Green
Wave to win, nor are they terribly concerned
about the outcome anyway. However, in the sec-ond
quarter, when Tulane pulls ahead 12-10, the
crowd looks interested. The Wave's 33-10 win
has students, faculty and alumni cheering wildly
in a standing ovation at the end of the game. The
possibility of a winning season no longer seems
like a hopelessly remote fantasy. However, the
loss to Rice the next week fortifies the skeptics'
belief that the Stanford win was merely a fluke.
The fans know better though, and the month ends
with the Wave standing at 3-1. The campus is
abundant with newly discovered football fans.
The Green Wave is not the only strong force this
month. Hurricane Frederic threatens to sweep
through New Orleans, resulting in the evacuation
of Alumnae Hall and incredibly long lines in the
supermarkets. Fortunately, all precautions proved
unnecessary, as the storm passes to the east, hit-ting
New Orleans with only winds and rain, it
enlivens a Wednesday night though, and the
movie on campus is appropriately entitled
"Frenzy."
Bruff food continues to attract derision and re-pel
students. A contract student pushes a "dead
man" in a wheelchair carrying a sign that reads
"Bruff kills" into the Bruff dining room. Their
small demonstration is greeted by cheers from
other students, but ARA officials react by confis-cating
their meal cards, probably a blessing in dis-guise.
The Associated Student Body has organized
a committee to the ARA program, but students
remain dissatisfied with campus food service.
17
"Wave Craze" is the prevailing spirit on cam-pus
as the Tulane football team continues to win,
both at home and on the road. Excitement in-creases
with the announcement that the home-coming
game against Ole Miss will be televised.
The Queen of the festivities, Debbie Cunning-ham,
is elected along with the court, and home-coming
preparations are underway. A large bon-fire
is planned to spark spirits in the stadium park-ing
lot.

Tulane is fortunate to have the opportunity to
host soviet dissident Alexander Ginzberg. Speak-ing
through a translator, Ginzberg emphasizes the
complete absence of human rights in the Soviet
Union. The audience listens in fascinated horror
to a detailed account of a country where no free-dom
of religion, press, speech or education exists.
Ginzberg, with much insight, warns that it is not
the people of the Soviet Union who are to be
feared. Rather, our concern should be about a re-gime
which takes away all the dignity and rights of
human beings.
Other campus organizations are active this
month too. CACTUS, after a long, hard search, has
finally selected Joseph B. Gordon as their new
executive director. The Tulane University Theater
begins its season with a production of Anton
Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, and John Poche is
elected as WTUL's new general manager. The
ASB is not idle either, as they have been debating
the issue of an extended Thanksgiving break.
Most noteworthy of all is the acclaim that the
Tulane Hullabaloo has earned. Earlier in the
month, the Associated Collegiate Press awarded
the paper the highest honor rating, that of All-
American. The Hullabaloo later receives the Pace-maker
award, distinguishing it as the finest col lege
weekly in the country.

November can only be called football
month at Tulane. Plans for the demolition of
Tulane Stadium have been finalized, and the
Administration holds a farewell party. Foot-ball
players, cheerleaders, and fans who had
made, or watched, football history there,
gather to bid the stadium farewell. They were
joined by students who admire the stadium
and the memory of its former glory. Now,
however, the stadium is not the only reminder
of Green Wave fame. Students are possessed
by an almost fanatical "Wave Craze" that has
rekindled spirit at Tulane.
Homecoming celebrations begin with a
bonfire as fans burn an Ole Miss Rebel in
effigy. Spirits and enthusiasm rise, as each
speaker thanks the cheering crowd for their
support. Superfest, a wet, muddy, and
thoroughly enjoyable party on the quad fol-lows
the next day as we all await Saturday's
big game.
The victory over Ole Miss is perfect. It is the
first televised game of the season, as the
crowd is well aware and the Green Wave is at
its best. Even the Associated Press takes
notice, and finally votes Tulane into their top
twenty.
An invitation to the Liberty Bowl in Mem-phis
is tremendously satisfying, but not even a
choice bowl bid can equal the excitement
over the L.S.U. game. The traditional rivalry is
supercharged this year as Tulane enters the
dome with a better record than L.S.U. Despite
warnings from Baton Rouge that the Green
Wave is sure "Tiger Bait," the campus feeling
is that a win is certainly possible. Even Presi-dent
Hackney wears an "L.S. Who?" t-shirt,
and buttons, shirts, and banners all over cam-pus
tell L.S.U. exactly where to go. To add to
the excitement, the contest receives last mi-nute
television coverage. The game sells out
the Superdome, and one banner typifies the
feeling of Wave fans: "Give me Liberty, but
first give me L.S.U."
The final score is a Wave roll over the Ti-gers,
24-13. This is only the second win over
L.S.U. since 1948, and Tulane students
couldn't have asked for more. With tails be-tween
their legs, the Tigers retreat to the loc-kers
as a sea of green and blue pours out onto
the field.

Student demonstrations at Tulane have been a
pretty rare occurance in the past decade. How-ever,
the Iranian hostage crisis, and the corre-sponding
feel ings of anger prompt students to take
some sort of action. A mild protest is staged, and
although it is small and peaceful, it shows that at
least some students are aware and concerned. The
demonstration is conducted in New Orleans' style
as Tulane students carry signs bearing slogans
such as, "Ayatollah is a Yat" and, "Go to Iran,
L.S.U."
Not all is grim on Tulane campus, though. The
Royal Lichtenstein Circus makes a spectacular ap-pearance
one Wednesday afternoon, amazing
and delighting onlookers. Even those who are
"too old for that sort of thing" cannot resist, and a
few even walk away carrying a balloon.
Papa John Creach also makes a grand appear-ance,
courtesy of the TUCP concert commitee.
His lively fiddle music is surpassed only by his
facial expressions as he dances. The night is musi-cal
entertainment at its best.

The administration and faculty have several
conflicts over salaries and the tenure problem
during the month. Once again, President
Hackney's authority is questioned. The prob-lems
however, are quickly and quietly settled.
Difficulties with tenure appointments are re-solved,
as the tenure committee finally de-termines
that the President is correct.
Political campaigning in New Orleans
climaxes this month with the election of Dave
Treen as governor. In keeping with the New
Orleans tradition, the elections are less than
totally honest, and many of the campaigns are
little more than mud-slinging sessions. The
new officials, however, seem to be refresh-ingly
free from the usual corruption.
The quiet singing of birds and the tolling of
Loyola's bells each morning have been re-placed
by the sounds of blasting and jack-hammers
as the stadium demolition gets
underway. The piles of debris on what was
once the football field serve as a sad reminder
of the demise of a magnificent stadium.

The Dixie Dregs come to campus, giving an
excellent performance of jazz-rock music. The
concert, a last chance to party before the end of
the semester, is a very enjoyable experience. It is
the perfect culmination of a very active semester
forT.U.C.P.
New Orleans has begun to prepare for the holi-day
season. Mr. Bimble, the best loved snowman
aside from Frosty, has made his perennial appear-ance
atop Maison Blanche, overlooking Canal
Street. Store window displays have been elabo-rately
designed as merchants prepare themselves
for the season rush. New Orleans is not exactly a
"winter wonderland," but that hasn't stifiled the
growing holiday spirit.
On campus, very little merry making goes on
while classes end and finals begin. Rather, dashing
to the library, drinking gallons of coffee, and mak-ing
last minute efforts to read five books in four
hours have become prevalent activities. Finally,
it's over, and exhausted, we embark on vacation,
swearing to not even think about another book
until next semester.
29
As we return to Tulane at the start of a new
decade, speculation on the future is rich in politi-cal
overtones. The Soviet invasion of Afghanastan
and President Carter's proposal to reinstate draft
registration has caused a lot of concern. Mar-riage,
graduate school, and emigration to Canada
are discussed as possible ways to avoid the draft.
Some students however, infuriated over the con-tinuing
hostage crisis in Iran, feel that it is time for
America to exert its military power. Tensions are
high as Carter threatens a U.S. boycott of the
JANUARY
Lauri 5tK«man
summer Olympics in Moscow if the Soviets do
not retreat.
On the campus however, the turmoil of the real
world seems somewhat remote, and life goes on
as usual. Basketball season is underway, and
amidst general mediocrity, the fans in the Freret
street gym see occassional flashes of brilliance,
foreshadowing future development. The usually
excellent Tulane Sailing Team again proves itself
by placing first in the Sugar Bowl Regatta. Tulane
La Crosse, too, looks forward to another outstand-ing
season.
Campus debate over the Tenure issue con-tinues
as the Senate ratifies the special report
presented to it by the Committee on Faculty Free-dom,
Tenure, and Responsibility. It is the commit-tee's
contention that President Hackney is assum-ing
too much power by vetoing already approved
tenures, and that it is inequitable to the faculty to
change standards for those already seeking ten-ure.
Colonel William Berridge, chief of Tulane
Police, announces his decision to retire at the end
of the semester. Since coming to Tulane in 1 975,
he has built a concerned, professional security
force that has reduced many types of crime on
campus. His presence will be missed.
A special Students Admissions Committee has
been formed to aid in the recruiting of applicants
to Tulane as the school seeks to improve its stu-dent
body. Other students are involved in a
heated debate over the presentation by TUCP of
the historically important but blatantly racist film,
"Birth of a Nation." ACT and BALSA organize a
demonstration against the showing of the film in
McAlister Auditorium. The movie is a historical
comment on life during Reconstruction, but has
become a symbolic statement for the Ku Klux
Klan. The film is shown despite a boycott by ACT
and BALSA, but these organizations do succeed
in making students aware of the intents of the
movie.
Karia Bonoff, along with guest Brock Walsh,
appears in McAlister Auditorium before a highly
enthusiastic audience. The concert is superb, as
she proves once again that she is a polished pro-fessional
but still an honestly emotional vocalist.

February brings still more changes in the
Administration as Vice-President for Finance
Larry Peterson announces that he is resigning
at the end of the semester. This is apparently
the result of a decision to combine the post
with that of Vice-President for Business, a
duty which Peterson does not care to handle.
The search for a successor has not yet begun.
Colonel Berridge has withdrawn his resigna-tion
as Chief of Campus Police; a welcome
surprise. A.R.A. experiences a shift in man-agement,
as Al Hommel assumes the position
of General Manager. The usual promises of
improvements in food service are reiterated,
but only time — or perhaps our stomachs —
will tell.
David Young is elected President of the
ASBand will be aided by a staff comprised of
Dave Schnider, Chuck Silverman, Bill Donius
and Ted Jones. The President of the A&S Sen-ate,
Taylor Bryant, organizes a faculty — stu-dent
picnic. The combination of Popeye's
Chicken and beer leads to just the right at-mosphere
for fraternizing between students
and professors. The Architecture School hosts
their annual Beaux Arts Ball, an outlandishly
entertaining Mardi Gras warm-up. Campus
Nite presents their annual show, which is
"Guys and Dolls" this year. The Tulane Sail-ing
Team wins the Windjammer Regatta, braving
terrible weather to defeat their able competition.
George Plimpton, a journalist who believes that
one must experience a story rather than just re-search
and write it, comes to Tulane under the
auspices of the Lyceum Committee. He relates
some of his adventures to a small but fascinated
audience, rounding out a month of busy activity
on campus.
The climbing spirit of Mardi Gras is sud-denly
dampered by the death of Henry Roe-land
Byrd, better known as Professor Long-hair.
People who have come to associate the
lively spirit that abounds at "Tipitina's" with
the loose and wild piano music of the "Fess"
will greatly miss this superb performer. He
was more than a musician, he was a legend;
the king of New Orleans jazz, rhythm, and
blues. His jazz funeral ushers him out with a
flourish, and simultaneously ushers in the
Mardi Gras season. Doubtless, he would have
wanted it that way.
F

RUARY
Mardi Gras season is officially here, and the
entire population of the city devotes itself to the
frantic pursuit of pleasure. The partying that was
dampered by the police strike last year is amply
compensated for. The city swells to four times its
original size as tourists swarm in in hordes to expe-rience
the renowned Carnival. We "natives"
laugh at their inexperience as we expertly navi-gate
around the Quarter, finding secret parking
spaces and local hangouts. Finally, it is Fat Tues-day,
and the city literally explodes with music,
parades, beads, and doubloons. The crowd unites
in a drunken frenzy, linked by the common desire
to have a good time. Costumes and painted faces
provide the anonymity necessary to truly go wild,
and New Orleans proves once again that it is in-deed
the city that care forgot.

This month, we get a chance to express our
frustrations to the adnninistration at "Bitch
Night". President Hackney and the various heads
of ARA, Student Services, ASB, and the Health
Center are bombarded with questions and com-plaints.
No startling issues are brought up, and no
new solutions are revealed, but everyone feels
better after being given the opportunity to "bitch"
to the right people.
Administrative upheaval continues as the pop-ular
Associate Dean of Students, Terry Jones, ac-cepts
a new position as the Director of Tulane's
Alumni Fund. Fred Southerland resigns his dean-ship
in the School of Social Work. After seven
hard years, Southerland apparently feels that it is
time to move on. Wayne Woody is named the
permanent dean of University College after hav-ing
served as acting dean there for two years.
Steve Jennings, Associate Dean of Students for
Residential Life and Advising, announces that he
will leave Tulane to accept a position as Vice-
President of Student Services at Furman University.

"Direction", Tulane's annual speakers sympo-sium',
always brings fascinating personalities to
campus, and this year is no exception. Such nota-bles
as John Ehrlichman, George Gallup, Nora
Ephron, and Dr. Spock, among many others,
present their views on Government, Working,
Education and Lifestyles. As always, many dif-fering
opinions are expressed, sometimes in less
than friendly terms. The four nights of panelists
offer much insight into the theme "American So-ciety:
Crisis of Change". No one is really sure
where we are going or what to do about it, but
everyone certainly seems to have a lotto say about
it.
Last year, a group of Tulane students, dissatis-fied
with some aspects of the Hullabaloo, ob-tained
funds to start a second paper. According to
a recent poll of students, however, only 27%of
the response rated the Torch as excellent or good,
while 84% felt that the Hullabaloo is worthy of
such ratings. The Media Board has decided to
merge the two papers into a biweekly publication
but the Senate is withholding action until a further
study can be made.
The month is concluded with a three day musi-cal
extravaganza at the WTUL Rock On Survival
Marathon. The rain does not prevent the Tulane
community from jamming in the Kendall Cram
Room to hear such greats as Lil' Queenie, The
Cartoons, James Rivers, NRBQ, The Radiators,
and the Nevilles. In case that isn't enough music,
Bonnie Raitt performs to an ecstatic audience in
McAlisterAuditorium Sunday night. The weekend
is definitely "wet and wild".

Tulane receives national attention once again
as biology professor Clayton R. Page III is indicted
by a Federal Grand Jury on twelve counts of
fraud. Page allegedly has been using research
grants to pay relatives for work never done, and
for his personal interests. The outrage against
Page is further intensified by the fact that he used
his professional reputation and his connection
with the University to obtain the funds. Proce-dures
for a just-cause dismissal of a tenured fac-ulty
member are underway.
The Tulane football team is ready to roll over
next year's opponents, but not under the direc-tion
of Larry Smith. Coach Smith, in a surprise
announcement, informs the Tulane community
that he will be coaching at the University of
Arizona next year. Apparently, the decision was a
financial one, but it leaves many fans to question
the loyalty of the coach to his team.
Elsewhere in sports, winning seems to be the
rule for Tulane teams. The Sailing Team wins the
South Eastern Intercollegiate Sailing Association
Qualifying Regatta, and will compete further in
June. They are already ranked third in the nation.
Both the men's and women's tennis teams are
having winning seasons with records of 1 1 -6 and
11-5 respectively. Lacrosse, always a solid team,
now holds a seven win two loss record. The
Green Wave Baseball team is also having another
fine season. With a 23-7 record they are ranked
twenty-first in the nation. The quads are con-stantly
in use as softball, Rugby, and Ultimate
frisbee games compete for equal time. Everyone
on campus seems to be actively involved in
one sport or another.

April is festival time in New Orleans. Newcomb
has its Spring Fest and exhibits the talent of its
students. Julian Bond, a leadingCivil Rights Activ-ist,
comes to Tulane and speaks about black
rights. His sarcastic humor is quite effective and
the audience leaves inspired. Rain postpones the
Strawberry Festival, but it is held the next week-end
and is deliciously successful.
The New Orleans Jazz and FHeritage Festival is a
superb mixture of crafts, food and music. The mud
doesn't keep anyone away from the fairgrounds,
and it seems that all the Jazz greats are there. "Go
for it!" is the slogan of the two weekend event, and
that's exactly what the musicians do. Stage four is
dedicated to the memory of Professor Longhair,
and each artist to perform there seems intent on
paying tribute to that memorial. Jambalaya,
gumbo, and beer mix with Jazz, Rhythm and
Bluestoform the essence of New Orleans. As B.B.
King says to his cheering crowd, "Now I know
why jazz was born here." The music goes on dur-ing
the week in the theatres and aboard the river-boats.
It lingers at the Dew Drop Inn, and slowly
fades, only to explode at Tipitina's or on Bourbon
Street, or anywhere anyone can put together a
piano, a couple of horns, and a few people with
"rhythm in their souls."

Finals end at last, and most undegraduates de-part
home to await grades, and enjoy the sum-mer.
Seniors, however, are now without the pres-sure
of exams and are free to enjoy senior week.
For the adventurous, there is a tubing trip down
the Tangipahoa, roller skating in Audubon Park,
and a Beach Party at the Civic. There is a recep-tion
given by President Hackney, and another at
Alumni House. There is a night at "Nick's", one
at "Pat O'Brien's" and free beer at "Tin Lizzies".
Finally, it's Thursday, and there is crayfish and
Dixie on the quad to the excellent rock and roll of
"Sunshiny Daze". For those who can still stand,
there is a party on the President, followed by par-tying
at all the favorite local hangouts. Senior
Week is time to enjoy it all one last time before
going out into the cold, cruel world where some
bars actually close before six in the morning.

Graduations are held, speeches made, degrees
conferred, honors bestowed. The Class of 1980
leaves Tulane with the preparation necessary for
graduate schools or careers as architects, engi-neers,
businessmen, doctors, and lawyers. The
ones who made it with highest honors, and the
ones who barely made it at all, join together to
reflect upon their time at Tulane. Friends say
goodbye, and classes, exams, and professors are
left behind to the undergraduates. The memories
will remain with the seniors though, and next
year's class must create its own. We are looking
forward to it.

stadium Farewell
Tulane Stadium has fallen
into grave disrepair during
the last five years, and the
administration has started to
tear down the 53 year old
brick and steel structure. The
first plans for the demolition
came in 1 978, as a part of the
Sasaki plan for University de-velopment.
Although it was seldom
used for sporting events after
the construction of the
Superdome, it was used for
Intramural activities, and
high school football games
that were played every Satur-day
night. However, when
Jordan Enterprises brought its
cranes and blow torches to
Willow Street, the fun ended.
Now, the Sugar Bowl is a
pile of twisted beams, broken
bricks, and many memories.
6401 Willow will be missed
by one and all.
75
Once one of the finest college facilities in the na-tion,
Tulane Stadium was the world's largest steel sta-dium,
with a seatingcapacity of over 80,000.
Before this year's demolition, the sports fans of New
Orleans had the chance to view historic events, such
as Tom Dempsey's world record field goal of 63
yards, andTulane's 14-0 victory over LSU in 1973. In
addition, the stadium was the home of the Sugar Bowl
Classic, which was played every New Year's day from
its inception in 1 935, until it moved to the Superdome
in 1975.
From high school to professional football, concerts
to its own funeral, Tulane Stadium was the home of
New Orleans entertainment.

With a roof 680 feet in diameter and 27 stories
high, the Superdome has been the home of Green
Wave football since 1975. The Dome also houses
the New Orleans Saints, and recently a baseball
series between the Baltimore Orioles and the New
York Yankees, for the benefit of Tu lane athletics.
Over 80,000 people attended the two game se-ries,
a new record for baseball in Louisiana. An-other
attendance record was set, when 75,000 peo-ple
saw Tulane defeat LSU. This was a record for
people watching a coHege football game in the
Dome. The Superdome: a place where sports fans
can watch their team play, without getting rained
on.

New Era Begins With Shocking Upset
The 1979 football season was a crossroad asfarasTulane
athletics was concerned. During recent seasons, poor stu-dent
support and lack of attendance, as well as pressure from
the faculty to drop football, showed a dissatisfaction with
Tulane athletics in general.
The school had been plagued by poor teams in the past,
with Coach Larry Smith's football teams only winning nine
games in the last three years. People were beginning to
doubt his ability to produce a winner, but athletic director
Hindman Wall had faith in Coach Smith.
The first indication that this would not be just another
losing season came in the opener against Stanford. Pre-season
polls ranked the Cardinals 1 3th in the nation, and this
game was touted as the beginning of a "new era" in Tulane
athletics. The Wave proved that it was capable of playing
quality football by trouncing Stanford, 33-10, in the Super-dome
before 41 ,000 fans.
Both offensively and defensively, the Green ies executed
to perfection. The decisive play came early in the second
quarter, with Stanford leading, 10-7. Following a 44-yard
punttothe Cardinal one by Roch Hontas, defensive linemen
Wilfred Simon and Kevin Cole sacked Cardinal quarterback
Turk Schonert in the endzone for a safety. This play set up a
field goal by Ed Murray to give the Wave a 12-10 lead which
lasted until halftime.
In the second half, Tulane's defense completely shut
down the Cardinal attack, allowing only four first downs and
six yards rushing overall. The Wave offense moved at will,
led by the quarterbacking of Roch Hontas.
Hontas was a one-man wrecking crew on this particular
night, carrying the ball 19 times for 75 yards and one touch-down,
and completing 1 4 of 27 passes for 1 39 yards and two
more scores.
Many die-hard Tulane supporters were surprised and
pleased at the way the Wave handled the Cardinals. People
were already talking Top Twenty and bowl games after only
one outing. But there were still a few lessons the Wave had
to learn before becoming a consistent winning team.

y\ L^S§dh Learned, 'i
Hapless Owls Win
Rice
Tulane

The Wave learned one of these lessons the following
week — courtesy of the Rice Owls. After taking a 14-7 lead
athalftime, the Wave came out flat in the second half. An Ed
Murray field goal made the score 1 7-7 , before Owl quarter-back
Randy Hertel opened fire.
By the time the smoke had cleared, Hertel had completed
24 of 36 passes, and given Rice a 21-17 lead. The Wave had
a chance to come back and win, but Hontas' pass into the
end zone in the closing seconds was intercepted.
The Rice victory was the Owls' only win of the season,
and it left the Green Wave fans stunned. The spirit and en-thusiasm
of a week ago was now clouded with doubt, won-dering
if the win over Stanford had been a fluke. The Wave's
1-1 record, which would have been accepted two weeks
ago, was now considered mediocre.
However, the defeat would not turn out to be a total loss
for Tulane. The team had learned that they could not afford
to take any opponent lightly. This lesson would prove bene-ficial
to the Wave during the course of the season.
84
Greenies Capture
Sweet Revenge
Tulane returned toTexas the following week, looking
for revenge and a chance to regain their winning form. A
year ago, the Wave suffered a humiliating 1 3-7 Home-coming
defeat at the hands of the Texas Christian Uni-versity
Horned Frogs, a team that had won only four
games in the past four years.
The Wave trailed 9-0 early, and it looked as if Tulane
was continuing its lackluster performance of a week
ago. Finally, Hontas got the offense clicking on a long
drive. With Marvin Christian and Reggie Reginelli lead-ing
the way, the Greenies scored two second quarter
touchdowns to trim the Frogs' lead to one, 1 6-15.
In the second half, TCU could not stop Tulane as the
Wave rolled to a 33-1 9 win.
Marvin Christian turned in his finest effort of the sea-son,
and it seemed like Tulane might be turning things
around. What many people didn't realize was just how
much this victory would mean for the Wave.

Mad Dog
Tramples;
Tulane Triumphs
With the second win of the season under their belt, the
Green Wave played host to the undefeated and 20th ranked
SMU Mustangs (3-0).
During this game the Wave found a new hero: Reggie
Reginelli, who carried nine times for 88 yards, caught five
passes for 43 more yards, and had a key 51 -yard punt return
in the fourth quarter. Marvin Christian had his second good
outing, gaining 107 yards and scoring two touchdowns, in-cluding
the winner from 1 9 yards out.
Tulanedominated the first half, roaring to a 17-7 halftime
lead. They then recovered an SMU fumble following the
kickoff, and found themselves in a position to ice the game
with another score.
But SMU's defense held, Ed Murray's field goal attempt
was aborted by a bad snap, and the Mustangs charged back
to tie the score at 17-1 7, before Christian's run capped the
victory.
As the closing seconds ticked off the clock, the Tulane
players could be heard chanting, "Twenty!, Twenty!" They
soon found out it was not that easy.

Vanderbilt
The Green Wave matched their win total of a year
ago, in their game against Vanderbilt, trouncing the
hapless Commodores, 42-14. This victory marked the
first time that a Smith-coached Tulane team had w/on
three straight games, and raised the Greenies' mark to
4-1.
Tulane jumped to a 21 -0 halftime lead on the pass-ing
of Roch Hontas and the receiving of Alton Alexis.
Alexis broke the Tulane career record for most pass
receptions, with the record-setter coming on a first
quarter nine-yard touchdown pass.
Hontas had another excellent game, hitting on 18
of 24 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns.
Hontas was also named the Associated Press South-eastern
Back of the Week for the second time in five
games.
Tulane would now take their 4-1 record on the road
for the next two weeks, hoping to impress the pollsters
and earn a place in the Top Twenty.

Eagles Fall Short
As Wave Rolls On
Late in the second quarter in Hattiesburg, it looked as
thoughTulane'sthreegame winning streak was in jeop-ardy.
The Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi had
jumped to a 1 3-0 lead over the Wave and seemed to be
in complete control.
However, this year's Tulane team would not collapse
as its predecessors had done in seasons past. Led by the
offensive mastermind, Roch Hontas, the offense rallied
to the challenge.
Hontas connected on touchdown passes in the sec-ond
and third quarter, with Ed Murray converting the
all-important PAT's, to give Tulane a 14-1 3 fourth quar-ter
lead.
But the 3-2 Eagles were no pushovers either. Quarter-back
Dane McDaniel led Southern Mississippi back,
taking his team on a long drive, for a 19-14 lead with less
than three minutes left in the game.
The Wave rebounded as Hontas cranked up a des-peration
drive. It was capped by his record-breaking
twelfth touchdown pass of the season, to freshmen re-ceiver
Robert Moses, giving Tulane a 20-1 9 lead with a
scant 30 seconds remaining.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Golden Eagle receiver
lateraled to a teammate near the sidelines, who raced all
the way to the Tulane 10.
The play was nullified by a penalty, and the Eagles
missed a 41 -yard field goal as time ran out.
Bowl Bid Stalled
By Mountaineers
Students and fans alike scanned the papers Tuesday
morning, hoping to find that their 5-1 Tulane team had
broken into the Top Twenty. They were disappointed
once again — the Wave was not included in the rank-ings.
Tulane traveled to little Morgantown, West Virginia
on Saturday, looking to make it five in a row, and clinch
their first winning season since 1 973. The Mountaineers
(3-4) entered the game on a three game winning streak
of their own.
The game started off as most of the Wave's games this
season had, with Tulane falling behind 10-0 in the first
quarter. The offense came alive in the second quarter,
and the teams were tied 1 7-1 7 at half.
But this just was not the Wave's day. The weather was
perfect, the field was perfect and on this day, the Moun-taineers
were perfect. The Wave defense couldn't stop
the Mountaineers' young backfield, and West Virginia
gained an impressive 377 yards rushing.
West Virginia turned a couple of Wave turnovers and
a long touchdown pass into a 22-1 7 victory, giving the
Wave their second loss of the season.

In Crucial Win
The Tulane defense rebounded against the Yellow-jackets,
attempting to make amends for a poor showing
the previous week. They attacked with vengeance,
keeping Georgia Tech off the scoreboard until the final
period, and winning 12-7.
This victory secured the Wave's winning season, up-ping
their record to a fine 6-2.
In addition to the excellent defensive performance,
the offense was sparked by the play of junior running
back Terry Harris. Harris gained 109 yards, including a
40-yard run to the Tech three in the third quarter. Tulane
scored on the next play to take a 1 2-0 lead.
Tulane hoped that this win was the start toward the
final stretch run, as fans and team alike began looking
forward to a possible bowl bid.

Tulane Drowns BC
With Aerial Attack
For the first time in a number of years, Tulane was
faced with adverse weather conditions. It had been rain-ing
steadily in Boston since Friday, where the Wave was
preparing to play the Boston College Eagles.
Still, wide receiver Darrel Griffin and the rest of the
offense seemed to have no problem with the cold, mis-erable
weather, as Tulane blasted the Eagles, 43-8.
Tulane started early this time, scoring field goals on
their first two possessions by capitalizing on numerous
Eagle turnovers. A touchdown made the score 1 2-0 Tu-lane
after the first quarter.
Then the aerial fireworks began, with Hontas com-pleting
three touchdown passes to give the Wave a 33-0
stranglehold over Boston College.
After upping the score to 40-0, the Eagles finally got
on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, ending with a
score of 43-8.
With a 7-2 record and an impressive offensive dis-play,
Tulane seemed a su re bet to make the Top Twenty.
However, once again they were passed up by the poll-sters.
So the Wave looked to their next game, the Home-coming
encounter with the Ole Miss Rebels, to place
Tulane in the rankings.

Success AT Last:
Wave Breaks Into
Top 20 With Rout
After ten weeks of working, the Tulane Green Wave fi-nally
got their long awaited recognition. On regional televi-sion,
the Greenies decimated the Ole Miss Rebels, 49-15,
leaving no doubt that the Wave was a powerhouse to be
reckoned with.
Tulane spotted the Rebels a 3-0 lead, before the offense
exploded. Touchdown runs by Marvin Christian (20 yards),
Reggie Reginelli (22 yards), and Terry Harris (61 yards) gave
Tulane a 21-3 lead at intermission.
The Wave continued their onslaught after halftime. Hon-tas
passed to Alton Alexis for a 24-yard score, and Christian
took one in from 33 yards out, to give the Wave a 35-3
margin after three stanzas.
Junior Nickie Hall entered and led the Wave to another
score, making it 42-3. The defense played excellently
throughout, with the Rebels scoring only after the substitutes
entered the field. The defense held the rebels to only 55
yards rushing in the game.
The game was a homecoming of sorts for Ole Miss quar-terback
John Fourcade. Fourcade, who graduated from New
Orleans' Shaw High School, was harrassed throughout the
game, being sacked numerous times and being intercepted
twice.
This exceptional effort proved not to be in vain when the
time came for the Top Twenty to be released. The Associated
Press chose the Wave as the 20th ranked team in the nation,
tying them with Baylor.
With an 8-2 record, and having scored 92 points in their
last two games, the Wave was ready and waiting for their
annual clash with arch rival LSU.

Wave Tames Tigers
The Green Wave capped off their regular season with a
regionally televised 24-13 victory over arch-rival LSD. The
win boosted the Wave's record to 9-2, the best since 1973,
when they last beat LSU, by a score of 14-0.
When the crowd of 73,496 entered the Superdome, they
expected to see an exciting game from the two highly
ranked teams. No one expected the Green Wave to domi-nate
for most of the game.
The "Mean Green" defense started the first drive for the
Wave, as defensive tackle Kevin Cole forced and recovered
an LSU fumble at the Tiger 27. Quarterback Roch Hontas
threw a series of short passes to Marcus Anderson and Alton
Alexis, only to be stopped on the LSU 2 yard line. Reliable Ed
Murray booted a 1 9 yard field goal to give the Greenies a 3-0
lead.
On the ensuing series, Tulane showed that they were ca-pable
of taking command of the game. After a 1 2 yard punt
return by Reggie Reginelli, Jeff Jones broke six Tiger tackles
on an impressive 18-yard run. After two short passes to Rod-ney
Holman, the Wave was knocking atthedooron the LSU
1 3. The score came when Hontas hit Terry Harris in the flat,
and Harris scampered into the end zone, making the score
Tulane 10, LSU 0.
With long awaited revenge in their sights, Hontas and
Reginelli headed a 67 yard drive for the next Wave score.
With inches to go for a first down, Reginelli shook off a
104
With 24-1 3 Victory
tackle and burst 1 8 yards to the LSD 26. A 1 6 yard pass from
Hontas to Reginelli brought the ball to the LSD 6 yard line.
After a delay of game penalty, Hontas threw a 13-yard
touchdown pass to Marcus Anderson.
An interception by Marty Wetzel set up Tulane's final
score. A pass interference call on LSD brought the bail to the
Tiger 1 7, where Alton Alexis beat man-to-man coverage for
the touchdown, giving the Greenies a 24-0 lead at halftime.
The third quarter was filled with missed scoring oppor-tunities.
A 34-yard field goal was aborted by a bad snap, and
Hontas threw a pass that was intercepted on the LSD 1 yard
line. But the heroic defense still held the high-powered Tiger
offense scoreless.
When the fourth quarter started, LSU launched their final
comeback attempt. After two touchdowns had cut the lead
to 24-1 3, the Tigers seemed to be on another scoring drive.
On fourth and ten from theTulane 10, Tom Cheviot sacked
Tiger quarterback Steve Ensminger, ending LSU's final
hopes.
After beating LSU only once in 32 years, the taste of vic-tory
was sweet. Not only did the Green Wave finish the
regular season as the 15th ranked team in the nation, but
they had the "braggin rights" as the bestfootball team in the
state of Louisiana, and a chance to move higher to the Lib-erty
Bowl.

The 15th ranked Green Wave entered their first bowl
game in six years with high expectations and hopes of
making Tulane football known around the nation. The
Penn State Nittany Lions, a perennial bowl participant,
were to be the Wave's opposition.
The Tulane team was placed in a disadvantageous posi-tion
from the outset against the stronger Lions. The field
was saturated from the heavy rains that had been falling
throughout the weekend. This was not to the advantage of
Tulane's finesse-oriented offense.
After a scorelees first quarter, the Penn State offense
began to drive on the Tulane defense. However, the
scrappy Wave defenders did not give in, holding the Lions
to only two field goals in the first half.
Trailing 6-0 at the half, Tulane responded with a three-pointer
of their own from Ed Murray closing to within three.
With less than four minutes remaining, the Wave began
their final drive.
Three completions for first downs by Roch Hontas
moved Tulane to the Penn State eight yard line. The
Creenies were unable to push it across for a touchdown,
and had to settle for a tying field goal with less than a
minute left.
The Nittany Lions then turned a sure tie into a Green
Wave defeat on a single play. A 39-yard completion on a
halfback pass broke the Wave's secondary, setting up Penn
State for the winning field goal and a 9-6 victory.
Although the Wave failed to capture their second Liberty
Bowl trophy, their performance left no doubt that Tulane
football was for real, and that Tulane fans will have some-thing
to look forward to in 1980.
For Tulane Basketball, 1 979-80 was to be a season of false
hopes. Promises of an improved team were dealt a severe
blow early in the season, when senior center Bobby Jones
was lost for the season with a knee injury.
Early season performances indicated that a winning team
was just around the corner. A one-point loss to 8th-ranked
LSU showed that Tulane was capable of playing excellent
basketball.
Much of the reason for the poor record was that Tulane
was playing a much tougher schedule than ever before. In
addition to playing LSU twice, the Wave's schedule in-cluded
the likes of post-season tournament participants
Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida State, Louisville, and Vir-ginia
Tech with the last three facing Tulane twice in the
course of the season. From these six teams came ten of the
Green Wave's seventeen losses of the season.
Although there was little improvement in terms of wins
and losses (1 0-1 7 as compared to last year's 8-1 9), there was
marked progress in thecaliberof basketball displayed by the
team. Many of the losses could have gone either way, such
as close contests that went to Louisville (64-60), Virginia
Tech (69-68), LSU (80-79) and Michigan (72-71 ).
In addition to the loss of Jones, the Green Wave was
forced to compete without the services of senior Carlos
Zuniga, due to academic reasons. This left only one senior
Gary Lorio, to provide experience and leadership.
The needed leadership and promise for the future was to
come, however not from one of the older experienced play-ers
on the team, but from a freshman, 6'6" forward Paul
Thompson from Alexandria.
Thompson, a reserve in the early stages of the season
earned himself a place in thestartinglineup when Jones was
injured, and proceeded to lead the team in scoring and re-bounding.
From his performance Thompson was named Freshman
of the Year in the Metro Conference and landed a place on
the second team of the Freshman All-American Squad.
Sophomore Joe Holston provided scoring and playmak-ing
from guard position where he was teamed with defen-sive
specialist Reggie MacLaurin. Sophomore Micah Blunt
was moved to forward from center late in the season and
performed credibly after suffering through a poor second
year. Junior Eric Dozier moved to the pivot position late in
the season and held his own against the much taller centers
of the conference.
With the loss of only one senior, the Tulane basketball
team should be in a position to make it over the top and
become a winning team next year.

With a combination of youth and experience, Tulane's
Women's volleyball team blocked and spiked theirway toa
25-1 3 record and the LAIAW State championship.
One of the biggest accomplishments by the Lady Wave
was two consecutive victories over the LSU Ben-gals. The
first win was a 1 5-3, 1 5-1 3, 15-11 upset in the Freret Street
gymnasium. . . thanks to the efforts of freshmen Terri Har-vey
and Patti Boerner.
When tournament time came around, Upperclassman
Ann Bruder, Brenda LeBlanc and Lilliana Posoda used their
experience to drive home a 1 5-3, 1 5-6, 1 5-1 win over the
Ben-gals in the state finals.

Women's Basketball
Despite a harder schedule, and a young inexperienced
team, Karen Womack coached her women's basketball
team to a 16-11 season.
The obvious high point of the season was the surprise
third place finish in the First Women's Metro Basketball
Tournament. However, their luck was not so good in the
L.A.I.A.W. tournament, with the women suffering a 75-52
defeat at the hands of McNeese State, ending the season.
Sophomore Terry Johnson had a spectacular year,
scoring 548 points at a 1 0.2 points per game clip. From the
field she hit 51% of her shots, while shooting 69% from the
foul line. Johnson finished the regular season fifth in
scoring, and fourth in rebounding, with 248 in the state.
She now has 889 career points.
Junior Patricia "O.J." Toujouse made a significant
improvement from last year's 9.16 points per game to 12
points per game. Aside from being the second leading
scorer on the team, O.J. broke the all-time record for the
most points in one game, with an outstanding 58.
The only senior on the squad, Barbara Klingman, used
her experience to help balance the eight other freshmen
and sophomores, playing smart basketball at both ends of
the court. Klingman was the first player recruited by
Womack, and the first woman to receive an athletic
scholarship.
Although the team played an extremely hard schedule,
playing teams such as South Alabama,
Alabama-Birmingham, Houston, Arkansas, and traditional
rival LSU, the team improved, and matured as a whole.
Tulane increased its shooting percentage to 44% from the
floor and 65.7% from the foul line. Team rebounding
increased from 34 to 37 per game.
Tulane finished the regular season state-wide fifth in
scoring, fourth in team defense and field goal percentage,
and third in win margin and record.

Swimming
The 1979-1980 swimming program began in September.
Some forty individuals, under the supervision of coaches Peter
Orschiedt and Ben Goslin, met at six a.m. in Tulane Stadium to
run laps, to climb steps and to do vigorous calisthenics. In the
beginning of November, morning workouts in the pool were
substituted for practices in the Stadium, and the team was
trimmed to 25 swimmers. A long season lay ahead of the young
team, composed mostly of freshmen. The first meet was on No-vember
10, the last in March.
The team did not perform well in the fall meets. More work
was needed and Christmas training was the solution. While the
rest of the University's population vacationed around the coun-try,
the team swam twice a day, seven days a week. The work
paid off, as was shown by the team's upset victories over LSU and
Houston, both ranked in the Top 20 in the country.
The Metro Championships in Blacksburg, Virginia culminated
the season for the Green Wave swimmers. Five new school
records were set, all by freshmen: Jerry Watson in the 200-yard
backstroke, Jimmy Flowers in the 200-yard breaststroke, Wayne
Viola in the 50-yard freestyle, and Kevin Switzer in the 200-yard
and 500-yard freestyle. Climaxing a fine collegiate career, senior
Randy Espenshied won
the 1 00-yard freestyle,
and was the meet's lone
qualifier for the NCAA's.

Sailing
Saturday mornirrg after a night out in the
Quarter finds most college students sacked out
in bed asleep, but there are no mornings after
for a certain group of Tulanians. Every
weekened at 8:00 a.m., bleary-eyed Tulane
sailors gather in front of the \JC to go out and
battle the shifty winds and constantly changing
conditions of Lake Ponchartrain in their search
for a place in the best intercollegiate sailing
teams.
The Tulane team, composed this year pri-marily
of Sophomores, continued in the Tulane
tradition of high quality in intercollegiate sail-ing
competition, achieving a ranking among
the top three teams in the nation. This was a
remarkable feat for an entirely self-coached
team in dire need of money and facing such
teams as Navy, Tufts and King's Point. Tulane
sailors consistently achieved high places in
various team and single-handed regattas
throughout the year.

Tulane played its first rugby match
on a cold, windy Christmas Day in
1888. This was rugby's birth at Tulane.
However, the game changed quickly
into American football with the cre-ation
of the Southern Ath letic Associa-tion
in 1890. Rugby did not reappear
on the Tulane campus until 1967
when a group of Medical students
formed today's Tulane University
Rugby Football Club. In the thirteen
years the club has prospered under the
leadershipof many coaches and, since
1 976, the fine administrative guidance
of Dr. Rix Yard. The Tulane University
Rugby team competes in many state,
national and international rugby
matches continuing the tradition of a
sound mind in the sound, but some-times
intoxicated, body of the student
athlete.
169
Lacrosse
The Tulane Lacrosse Club had an enjoyable year enrich-ing
their reputation as the Powerhouse of the South West-ern
Lacrosse Association.
Several important players from the previous year's club
returned for the 1980 season. Kenny Cook, John Carcelon
and Steve Janeck preseiA^ed the strength and ability at mid-field,
while newcomers such as Joe Conroy and attacker
George Kelley fortified other positions. Freshman Ben Ger-shouwitz
was a standout in the goalie circle.
Not only did the Wave stickers play admirably in the
S.W.L.A., but they also chalked up wins against Houston,
Texas Tech, and arch-rival LSU.

Gymnastics
The Tulane Gymnastics Club, coached by Betsy
Dyer, has been in existance since the early 70's. This
year the gymnastics team has been quite busy. Added to
their regular schedule was the University of Southeast-ern
Louisiana. This increased the season to six meets.
The team easily won all the matches this season.
Other activities included exhibitions to local schools.
Some members of the team also taught faculty and chil-dren.
The Tulane Gymnastic Club can look forward to
much more future success as long as the sport of gym-nastics
is on the rise and the team continues to have
such talented students.
One special addition to this year's club was Lucy
Elizabeth Dyer, born March 6, 1 980. Being the daughter
of the coach, she will be sure to become a fine gymnast
and eventually be on the Tulane team.

displeased yearbook staff,
Jacob Frenkcl has resigned

thit he will continue to work
"towards one end, the successful
production and completion of
the 1980 Jambalaya." He feels
Ihe "Media Boatd has an
alternate end in mind as
indicated by the desire to replace

WTUL
Dear Students,
Being that this is the first time (and most likely the last) that I'll
be allowed to express myself in the public prints on anything, I
would like to address first, WTUL; and second, non-commercial
radio in general.
This was a very good year for WTUL. We made lots of money,
bought lots of new equipment to play with, put a new tower up
on top of Monroe, and made the Marathon one of the best parties
in recent memory. In short, a rollicking good time was had by all.
Asfor non-commercial radio . . . More than likely, wherever
you find yourself, you'll be able to tune in to a college-run station
like 'TUL. Listen to it, support it, and tell your friends about it.
See you i n the wi Id blue yonder.
Yours in mirth,
John PocheC.M.

American Society: Crisis of Change
In 1968, a group of Tulane students dissatisfied with the amount of
contact between the outside world and themselves, put together a
program called "Direction." Since that time, Tulanians and community
members have had the opportunity to hear national figures such as Gerald
Ford, William Buckley Jr., and Bella Abzug discuss pertinent
socio-political issues.
The 1980 program, "American Society: A Crisis of Change," offered a
four part series of panel discussions on Education, Working, Lifestyles, and
the Government. Between the two weekends of debate, there was
humorous relief from serious discussion with a theatre production by an
improvisational group.

Direction '80 will surely be remembered by those who saw it as an out-standing
and lively program. But for Direction's staff members, the thirteenth
year of Tulane's popular speaker's symposium was an example of months of
hard work and effort nearly spoiled by an unusual streak of bad luck.
From the outset, Direction '80 "American Society: A Crisis of Change,"
appeared as though it was going to be another highly successful addition to a
tradition of excellence. The students involved in the program busied them-selves
with selecting top notch panelists and moderators. By the beginning of
March, the final details were being smoothed out, and all was set for opening
night.
Despite the usual preparations, though. Direction, which for so long had
boasted sellouts and standing room only as well as very favorable publicity,
incurred several strange problems.
Ticket sales were sluggish, and empty seats were painfully obvious opening
night. Worse yet, Jessica Savitch of NBC and CBS Radio newsperson Lee
Thorton bowed out at the last minute. The Direction committee was left to
scramble for replacements within a week of the program's opening. Floyd
Kalberof NBCand Bettina Gregory of ABC stepped in for Savitch and Thorton.
Direction '80staff members also had to withstand premature criticism from
the Hullabaloo, remaining undaunted in their efforts to provide a fine pro-gram.
Front page headlines such as "Sparse Crowds Baffle Direction '80 Staff"
and "Second Moderator Bows Out," along with a Hullabaloo editorial en-titled
"A Crisis of No Change," hit the newstands just as the fourth night of
Direction Began. And that night as well as the next closed in typical Direction
style: both were sellouts.

Dr, Norman Francis
The first night of Direction is like the opening performance of a
Broadway play. The actors, or panelists, drive up in front of the
quaint old theatre and step out of their limos, accompanied by
eager Direction staffers. Security istight, and if an excited specta-tor
ventures too close to one of the guests, he is rebuffed by a peer
with an official card pinned to his coat, or by one of Tulane's
finest. At about 7:30 a press conference is held so that the local
media can get a view of the eveni ng's activities without actually
attending. By 8:00, more or less, it's showtime, and the panelists
take the stage for a lively mixture of comic and serious commen-taries
on the state of American society.
Direction '80 opened with the usual degree of fanfare and high
expectations. The stage was set for a discussion on Education in
American, and the blue ribbon panel included Joseph Califano,
former secretary of HEW; educational reformer, Jonathan Kozol;
Dr. Max Rafferty, Troy State's Dean of Education; and Xavier
president Dr. Norman Francis. Floyd Kalber of NBC news mo-derated
the panel, probing the members with questions and sit-ting
back to hear them bicker, fight and debate every aspect of
education.
The evening was marked by colorful outbursts and eloquent
debate, with most discussion on the present state of education
and why it is or isn't working. From the beginning Rafferty
dominated the discussion with his traditionally conservative as-sertions.
"After twenty years we're finally coming around to a
definite definition of Education," he declared. "Education has
always been using the intellectual tool. I'm not talking about
'relevance,' that's what's wrecked (the educational system)." As
an educator of teachers, Rafferty placed most of the responsibi I-ity
for educational problems on the failure of the teacher training
system during the past ten to fifteen years.
"The teaher institutions are the villians," he told the other
panelists. "They have been producing starry-eyed and enthu-siastic
ignoramouses."

Califano and Kozol, however— both well versed In society's
contribution to problems In education — emphasized the need
for overall community changes.
"I don't think we can ask the schools to do too much," Cali-fano
commented.
Kozol described a vicious cycle of social problems, all of
which contributed to conditions in the educational system, and
which in turn were affected by these very same problems. He
concluded: "I agree that we can't ask the schools to do too
much, but it would be cowardly to ask them to do too little."
Francis cited the "complexity of the questions."
"We just can't say that it's the teacher's fault," he remarked.
Oneof the most controversial issues touched on was the use of
religion in schools. Kozol and Rafferty were the most outspoken
on these topics, with expected stands. Kozol stood totally against
the use of form of religion in schools, and brought up the Massa-chusetts
Supreme Court ruling against prayer in public educa-tional
systems, referring to this decision as a "good deed."
"1 see nothing wrong with spontaneous meditation," asserted
Rafferty in response to Kozol's comments. He also brought up
the subject of teachingcreationism in schools. "There should be
equal time for scientific and Biblical beliefs," he said.
Dr. Francis' expertise was put to use when the issue of the
validity of testing came up. According to Francis, who sat on the
board of the College Testing Service, "There is a great misunder-standingof
testsand testing. The SAT'sare only intended to aid in
the transfer from high school to college."
Predictably, Kozol was opposed to the SAT's, claiming that
they "were not the best test possible." He also cited theexistence
of special courses that prepare richer students for the exams.
"We can test forever," he declared, "but in the back of it are
human beings whose lives are going to waste."
Kozol's points brought most of the panelists to a general con-census
that the educational system must be changed to meet the
needs of Americans in the next decades.
"We must learn . . .
," Francis stated, "the young people are
important, and we are going to insist that they be taught."
209
Working
loseph Canizaro
"Anyone can be successful," said Joseph Canizaro, a self-made
New Orleans millionare. "Just too many people rely on
social programs." His comments helped initiate lively discus-sion
during the second night's panel on "Working."
Shana Alexander, known for her debates with James Kilpatrick
on CBS's "60 Minutes", moderated the group, which also in-cluded
Sol Chai ki n of the Ladies' Garment Workers Union, Studs
Terkel, author, and John A. Murphy, former chairman of the
board of Gateway Transportation. The evening'sdiscussion con-centrated
on the hard work ethic, worker alienation, mechaniza-tion,
and the woman's place in the employment game.
From the beginning, it appeared as though it would be an
interesting evening, with Candzaro and Murphy providing a
conservative outlook, and Terkel and Chai kin countering with a
more liberal attitude.
Canizaro's initial comments of the evening sparked the first
debate.
"We live with myths and we've somehow got to face those
myths and demolish them."
"Over 7% of the work class is unable to find work today,"
added Chaikin. "They exist."
Alliances on the panel shifted, however, when the subject of
job satisfaction came up.
Terkel felt that few people are actually fully satisfied with the
job that they have and the conditions under which the work. He
asserted that he "hates polls" that point to the contrary, because
the only way to understand how people feel "is to sit down and
talk with them,"
shana Alexander

loseph Canizaro
"Job satisfaction involves manydifferent facets," Chaikin said.
"Job satisfaction for workers is not quite the same as for the
college graduate . . . they (blue collar workers) are not as con-cerned
with challenge." Chaikin concluded that the American
worker, in general, is content, and the polls are correct.
Shana Alexander interrupted debate to focus on her favorite
topic: women.
Chaikin continued to dominate the discussion, but he found
himself frequently bickering with the moderator.
"Women have been channeled and are continuing to be
channeled into jobs known as women's work . . . they earn
60% of what men earn," he said. " . . . they are breaking down
doors . . . and they are doing it with the help of enlightened
men."
Chaikin finally slipped, though, when Alexander asked him
why women work.
"I don't believe that women work because they need the job,"
he declared.
"It astounds me that the famous leader of a Ladies Garment
Union doesn't know why women work," Alexander quipped.
A few final comments on the possibility of a four day work
week and an overview of American workers ended the discus-sion.
"Can we get to the point where we have a half hour work-week?
Murphy asked the panel, evoking laughter from the audi-ence.
In response to Murphy's statements, Terkel stressed the need
to trust the judgment of the individual and to allow each person
to create his own bounds for working. "Maybe work needs to be
redefined," he said.
And of course no one could agree on a new definition, but all
conceded that the concept of work is changing and will continue
to adapt to new lifestyles.

There are always at least two sides to every issue, and for its mid-week fare Direction
'80 chose to explore the lighter side, as the Next Move Theatre gave its interpretation
of the theme "American Society: Crisis of Change."
The Next Move is witty, funny, if not slightly irreverent improvisational group from
Chicago. Relying on suggestions shouted from the audience, the five group members
quickly developed sketches based on the suggestions and somehow reflecting today's
American society.
At the mention of money, the group became a Direction panel discussing the topic.
Forming a typically diverse panel was a Tutane Student who searches for new ways to
spend his parent's money, a man who hasn't paid income taxes in 45 years and
advocates prison as the best way to beat infiation, and an IRS agent wondering how the
government can tax "dumping."
The next topic offered the group was "chemistry," which resulted in the IRS agent
performing his Leon Redbone imitation, morning the loss of his love to organic chem-istry
in a soulful blues song.
The program continued in the same vein for an hour and a half, with sketches
touching everything from photography to foreign films. Though the group at times
might analyze a topic from an angle unfamiliar to some of the audience, they could
enjoy the evening knowing that before long they would be laughing hysterically at
another sketch.
Probably the best received sketch of riie night had two group members on one side
of the stage improvisating dialogue and sound effects for a tow grade science fiction
flick, while two other members on the opposite side acted the scene out, mouthing the
words slightly out of time.
In its relatively short presentation, the Next Move Theatre was able to turn American
society inside out and upside down, proving that indeed there is a tighter side to the
weighty issues debated by the Direction panels.
212
213
Lifestyles
Nora Ephfon
Thefourth night of Direction examined "Lifestyles: America at
Home." Members of the panel concentrated on a broad range of
domestic issues, especially those dealing with the moral fiber of
American society.
Hugh Downs, anchorman of ABC's 20/20 magazine show,
moderated the group, which boasted such personalities as Dr.
Benjamin Spock, reknown pediatrician and child psychiatrist,
Dick Gregory, comedian turned political activist, family expert
Jane Howard, and Nora Ephron.
Dick Gregory dominated the group throughout most of the
evening. His statement: "The problem is not racism, sexism, or
the difference between rich and poor — America is becoming
morally and spiritually bankrupt," touched off a series of mean-ingful
discussions about women, the media, family life, and old
people.
While most of the panelists agreed that there were indeed
problems within the American society, not all agreed on what
was the most press! ng concern or the sol ution as to any of them.
"Journalism is an advertising supplement and our lives are
becomingadvertising supplements," lamented Ephron, pointing
out what she thought was the major problem in American so-ciety.
"There is a deficiency disease in spiritualism nourishment,"
said Spock, attributing this problem to a "yearning for change."
"We're such an insecure people," observed Gregory. "We've
tried everything else in America but "self."
In response to Gregory's emphasis on self-discovery, Ephron
pointed out the concerns of those dissatisfied with the "genera-tion."
"The search for self runs counter to change," she told the
panel. "Things don't change unless you make them change."
Ephron emphasized the "inner meaning beyond the self."
214
Hugh Down'
Gregory, though, felt that there are a "degree of cycles that
things must go through," pointing out the need for "patience."
Spock countered with a statement that America must "face the
realities" in its society and stop the "reactions" that hinder nec-essary
change. "Where are all the liberal people?" he asked.
"Maybe things have to get really horrible before people wake
up."
Most of the panelists felt that change was dependent upon
political power for the group seeking constructive alternatives to
their present condition.
Using the example of the ageism problem in America, Spock
preferred political activism on the part of senior citizens to a
gradual realization on the part of younger people.
Gregory, making light of the topic, declared: "Never hit your
children — it's your children who are going to put you in an old
folks home." He stressed the need for cooperation on the part of
the younger generation to ease the pain of growing old.
"Listen to them (old people)," he said, "if you'll just keep your
mouth shut you' II see the beauty . . . leave a pieceof time open.
Start now. . . I hope we have the compassion . . ."
The evening concluded with a few brief observations on the
state of American society and the problems and changes of the
future. Most discussion was philosophical in tone, but the ideas
expressed left the audience satisfied.
Spock called the American people "a race that copes."
Gregory declared: "There will be a shift in the wind —we can
save it."
And Hugh Downs concluded with the most hopeful of all
statements, "maybe humans are tougher than we believe," he
said. "Maybe humanity's will to survive is more than we think."

Government
)ohn Ehrlichman
Dr. George Gallup, Sr.
William Rusher
The fifth and final night of Direction '80 wasactually a prelude
to the future. Social commentators and political observers
caucused on the state of America's government.
Saturday's panel was a smorgasbord of familiar faces, both
notorious and welcomed. The panel included exconvict and ex-
White House aid John Ehrlichman, pollster George Gallup Sr.,
Richard Reeves, editor of Esquire Magazine, and arch-conservative
William Rusher. The participants were moderated
by ABC White House correspondent Betina Gregory.
Discussion centered around presidential politics, and with the
1 980 elections close at hand, all of the panelists had an equal
amount to contribute.
Reeves began with a statement that presidential politics are the
politics of incompetence."
While no one actually disagreed with Reeves' comment or
tried to refute it, the members of the panel still discussed both the
merits and downfalls of the probable candidates. All agreed that
the primary selection process was all but over, and that Reagan
and Carter would challenge each other in the upcoming elec-tion.
"Carter is a President without a clear definition of policy,"
asserted Ehrlichman. According to him, the Carter administra-tion
is always "figuring out where a crisis fits," instead of "fitting
a crisis in with a gerneral philosophy."
"This administration has never been able to react quickly,"
continued Ehrlichman. "That's been the story with a lot of the
problems we've had."
216
Rusher, in agreement with Ehrlichman, diagnosed theprimary
problem of the Carter administration as a case of "reacting to
situations," and not acting.
Reeves disagreed, seeing the President's moves moreas politi-cal
actions," than anything else.
In response to the idea of political motivations causing trouble
within a presidential administration, Gallup presented the idea
of one six year term for the presidency.
"He wouldn't have to think about his re-election, then," Gal-lup
pointed out, "but what his place in history would be."
Turning their attention to then front-running Republican
Ronald Reagan, most of the panelists felt that he was unelectable
unless unforseen circumstances altered Carter's standing.
Rusher, the stalwart conservative and Reagan supporter, stuck
by the supposed Republican candidate as well a s the party itself,
although he said of the latter that "it has the staying power of any
large inert mass."
Reeves predicted a Carter win in the fall, but admitted that
"events could change" his prognosis, such as the possibility of
Congressman John Anderson running as an independent.
"The country is taking a distinct moderate step to the right,"
Rusher said, concluding with his hopes for the Presidential race
as well as the future of America.

Direction'
William Rusher
William Rusher is quite an old hand in the Direction program. He has
appeared several times during Direction's thirteen years and his familiar
archconservative views guaranteed to keep any panel hopping. His pres-ence
at Direction '80 was especially timely because of his extensive
knowledge of presidential politics.
Rusher has the ability to look a hostile interviewer in the eye, lean
back, and espouse ideas farther right than the scale allows. He is just next
to Barry Coldwater in political ideology, and proud of it.
"We face a real serious question about the viability of democracy," he
says, voicing his concern about the electoral process in America.
"I recommend a literacy test in order to register people to vote. I heard
recently that in California they took a whole busload of mentally retarded
people and registered them to vote. That is a step away from rational ity.
"
"A literacy test should be essential," he repeated, feeling the need to
drive home the point for the benefit of a young reporter. His beliefs are
sincere but conscientious, and he seems to thrive on their controversial
nature.
"If a person doesn't want to learn how to read —OK. He shouldn't be
able to vote. I'm not talking about a blind person who is unable to learn
to read ..."
"A person who cannot read is constitutionally unable to participate in
our system, just as a quadrapalegic is unable to fly an airplane."
Turning his attention toward his favorite topic, the upcoming presi-dential
race. Rusher lent his full support to Ronald Reagan. A longtime
associate of Reagan, Rusher saw the former governor of California as the
likely candidate for victory in the race. Offormer President Ford, he said:
"I think he, "Ford", would have been less formidable than Reagan . . .
Ford shares responsibility for the current economic situation."
"Reagan is in a position to act freshly," he added. Reagan is in a more
flexible situation."
Not that Reagan is on the conservative side of most issues. Rusher
concluded that the Republican party would have to use extreme caution
in "ticket balancing." Bush would be one possibility for the vice-presidency,"
he remarked.
Even if Reagan is elected in the fall, though. Rusher is glum about the
immediate future of the nation. Because "the basic mechanism of infla-tion
was for many years not well understood," according to Rusher,
solving the problem of the economy will be no easy deal. The obvious
remedy to inflation. Rusher felt, is "taking money .out of the federal
budget."
"But just cutting the budget will not result in the absolute end of
inflation," Rusher said. He forsees in the near future "a major depres-sion."

Interviews studs Terkel
Studs Terkel, the blushing romantic journalist/broadcaster/author,
provided the "Working" segment of Direction '80 with a breezy intellec-tual
contrast to the hard "dollars and sense" attitude favored by his
counterparts on the panel. Most famous for several books, among them
Working, a bulky collection of on-the-street interviews taken from the
mouths of America's working force — Terkel stressed "work satisfac-tion"
as the secret to creating harmony between workers and their em-ployers.
Terkel concerns himself with the psychological aspect of problems
that all workers face and voice. He has noted repeatedly that superfi-cially,
workers appear satisfied with their work. When probed further,
however, their replies reflect complaints that they have long overlooked
or stifled because they face more immediate economic pressures. Worst
of all, many employers feel trapped by their work.
"Thousands of people will fight for an assembly-line job; but once
they get it they are trapped," Terkel emphasized. "Workers go home at
night— they get drunk — they take a vacation — they do anything they
can to escape what they go through at the office."
Terkel went on to criticize modern technology. "Work is people mak-ing
things. Now the escalating trend is for things (machines, computers)
to make things. Maybe we should return to the idea of work involving
person to person interaction, instead of dealing with work as primarily a
person to thing relationship."
As Terkel reminded his audience, "Work is essential to all human
beings." And with this in mind, Terkel leaned forward to sharpen his
point. "If work is of no meaning, life is of no meaning."
Terkel elaborated on this theme with one of his infamous analogies:
"Look at jazz musicians. When a jazz player plays lousy, he feels lousy
as well. When a jazz player plays well, he feels good too." Terkel's
simple logic hits home like a cleanly driven nail —one does not have to
examine it to feel it.
Taking a more general perspective, Terkel revealed a little personal
philosophy: "Wine is as important as bread," he suggested, with loud
approval from his audience. "Furthermore, I still have faith in the human
being. Our imagination is not yet tapped."
Studs Terkel has not yet tapped the farthest reaches of his own imagi-nation
either. In a brief interview, we discussed Terkel's upcoming book,
which will be released in September. American Dreams — Lost and
Found is the tentative title, borrowed from lines in the traditional folk
hymn, "Amazing Grace."
Pondering a more purely philosophical theme than he has in previous
works, Terkel now hopes to address one of the central questions in the
public mind these days: "Is there still an American dream?"
While discussing with Terkel whether an American dream still existed
as such, I was reminded of his earlier remark about myths. "We as
Americans live with myths. Truth and fact are two things. We have to
somehow face those myths and demolish them." The truth is, if anyone
can find the answers, can demolish the myths surrounding the American
dream. Studs Terkel is our man.

THE CREED OF THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
We are of Art of Science, We endeavor to make of our art a science and to make our science an art. We
create a concordance, a creed for ourselves in which can bejoinedthesetwoways. United within us. within
each of us. art and science give birth to a child: a harmony ihal holds our values which will be shaped by
years. We raise the child above us.
Therefore, within this concordance:
We apply science and art. together, not as things, but as ways.
We bind ourselves to nature, to its essence and quintessence; to stand within it and not against it; to create
a place within which our child can thrive.
We care for the lives of faith and of reason, for feeling and for thought; not to let one outlive the other.
We use the curiosity we cannot suppress to overwhelm the ignorance we cannot hide.
We feel the space and the frame; we use the circle and the tangent; weobsefve equally with microscope,
kaleidoscope, and mirror.
We know the order that is imposed. We seek the order that is hidden.
We simplify. We civilize. We inspire. We create. We perfect.
In this, we justify ourselves and know that we must justify ourselves, always.

Many Tulane University students have heard
ofor have volunteered in CACTUS projects. The
large proportion which volunteer — large com-pared
to other schools' volunteer groups—have
done so because of the great diversity and
breadth of CACTUS activities. Students learned
first-hand about environmental dangers, educa-tion
of youth and older persons, psychiatric
treatment, and social issues.
By volunteering in a CACTUS project, students
diversified and added depth to their education.
They have discovered how to apply concepts
learned in the classroom and how one academic
discipline touches upon many others in prac-tice.
While applying classroom learning in the
community they also develop the skills required
after graduation: organizational skills, methods
in interpersonal relations and a concrete under-standing
of how societal problems affect us all.
Only mi nor aspects of the volunteers' learning
experiences are immediately visible. The major
aspects — the personal attributes and the inter-personal
skills acquired — are only indirectly
apparent. These invaluable qualities become
evident as students progress through their edu-cation,
career, and life in general.

The Tulane Investment Club performs a unique role in the university community,
that of providing a link between the theoretical world of the classroom and the real
world of profit and loss through speculation in stocks, bonds, gold, and options. It
allowsstudentstorealizethebigdifferencebetween what a professor says in class, and
what exists beyond the realms of the non-competitive academic community.
The Tulane Investment Club asks the proverbial question, "If this teacher knows so
much, why can't he use it to his advantage and be wealthy?" The answer lies in the fact
that the world doesn't reward intelligence, but rather performance.
The Tulane Investment Club is open to all segments of the community regardless of
race, creed, sex, or their stand on apareid sports. We do support South African invest-ments
because a dollar is where you find it and the wise man never lets his politics
interfere with his "love life" or his pocketbook. Anyway, we wouldn't kick a South
African out of the organization for eating crackers at a conference table!
In closing, the words of our founder Hyden Srtokemoney seem appropriate, "Bulls
make money, bears can make money, but pigs go only to slaughter."

English majors concerned with the lack of familiarity
among the students and faculty of one of Tulane's largest
departments joined forces to form an "English Club" dur-ing
the fall semester. After the initial meetings the following
goals were set: to provide a medium of communication
between students and faculty in a relaxed, informal en-vironment,
to provide social events, to supply students with
information on career and graduate school opportunities,
to inform the students of community and English related
activities, and finally to sponsor English Club programs.
The students set to work right away in fulfilling these
goals, providing fun and interesting activities throughout
the year. These events included creative writing work-shops,
a faculty/student end of the semester party, a
faculty/student Softball game, and a coffee house. After its
first year, the English Club had established itself as an
organization fighting student/faculty apathy.

Town
Students
During Orientation in August, 1979, a group of town students met to
discuss their future. Problems of commuter students, such as the difficulties
of returning to campus for meetings and activities as well as the problem of
communication among themselves and within the university, were voca-lized.
The discussion did not end there however. A group of interested town
students decided to expand their committee status on the Newcomb Senate
by holding activities and making efforts to foster communication. Officers
were elected:
Edie Rosen, President
Angela Paolini, Secretary
Laura Michaelis, Publicity
Bam Viloria, Social Director
Activities this year included a party at Dean Wittig's house, a carwash,
and intramurals in volleyball, basketball, and Softball.
Since town students are in the city during the summer, they can play a
vital role in Orientation. Therefore, plans were made to give the Town
Students a large part in Orientation '80. This would give the group of
students the opportunity to utilize their knowledge of the city to help with
the problems facing the incoming freshman.

Fencing
Members of Tulane's Fencing Club work hard at
becoming adept in the art of dueling, or more acura-tely,
swordmanship.
Fencing as a sport requries the utmost devotion and
long hours of practice. Tulane fencers put in ten hours
or more a week on the practice strip to prepare them-selves
for various competitions throughout the year.
This year's Fencing Club sponsored three major re-gional
competitionsduringthefall and springand had
a very satisfying year.
The coed Tulane team chosen for the first competi-tion
of the year, in October, finished second overall,
in spite of the fact that all the fencers on the team were
under nineteen.
The Mardi Gras Fencing Tournament was a huge
success, drawing participants from all over the South.
Unfortunately Tulane did not do as well as hoped,
but sti II put in a strong showi ng.
The club also participates in several out of town
engagements each year, not to mention many in-club
contests.

Exploring the quiet Louisiana bayous through pure stands of cypress
and the fantastic variety of wildlife.
Learning the basic skills which allow you to follow the path set by the
water around the natural obstacles of rocks and trees,
Broadening your horizons by seeing the places where a retreat from
the city sets the mind at ease.
Camping under the sea of stars in the Mexican desert along the Rio
Grande,
Gaping at the 1 500 foot walls of the Santa Elena Canyon knowing that
once you enter there is only one way out,
Having your heart pound as you pick your way through the rushing
white water of North Carolina,
Feeling tired but satisfied after a long day.

The rain pours down and we
walk to class under umbrellas with
our books in plastic bags. Classes
end, and still the rain pours down.
We carry our shoes and roll upour
jeans, splashing through puddles.
The rain continues to pour down,
and we go outside to slide in the
mud on the quad, getting wet and
filthy and loving it. Cars start to
float down McAlister Drive, and
still the rain pours down. No one
really cares though, after all, this is
New Orleans.

School Days
"Hi, What's your name? Where are you from?
Why did you come to Tulane? What dorm are you
staying in? How's your roommate? Where's the
U.C.? What's your major? Can I borrow your Nor-ton
Reader? I just don't understand, I used to get
A's in high school."
Hanging out on the quad. "Where did all these
dogs come from and why do they have bandanas
around their necks? Let's play frisbee. How do you
throw this thing?" U.C. step sitting or staring out
your dorm room window. "What am I doing
here?"
Eating on campus, an unforgettable experience.
The Parlor: "Two scoops of cottage cheese and a
'Tab'." The Rat: "A pepperoni pizza and a pitcher
of beer." The cafeteria: "What is it? Never mind,
I'd rather not know."
The hidden treasures of the U.C. Clubs and or-ganizations,
A.S.B., Publication Alley. Worthless
items in the bookstore, charged home. "A bar-bershop?
A pool room. A pool! Is it ever open?
Sabfrna Bunks
Why's that boat in a glass case?" Entertainment on
campus: concerts, movies, speakers, T.G.I.F.s.
You can always watch it rain.
Checking the mail — for the fourth time that
day. "Well, they might have had a late delivery."
On to the library to study — each other. "The
Boot? O.K., but just one drink and then I really
have to hit the books."
Football season. "A coat and tie to a football
game? A Hell of a Hull a ba — what?! What did
they mean when they said we were 'Tiger bait'?"
Food and alcohol —two unsurpassed pleasures
in New Orleans. "What do you mean there are
washing machines in the back of the bar? Jed?
Wasn't he on the Beverly Hillbilly's? If I made up
the name of the drink, will they still know how to
make it at Nick's?" Omelettes at the Grill, shrimp
po' boys at Domilise's, salads at Baxters. "How
was I supposed to know that dressed meant with
mayonnaise? A cold drink? We used to call them
sodas!" Dirty floors, chipping paint, and the best
food you ever tasted.
Mardi Gras. "A two week party? I don't believe
it." Drinking and sequins, and drinking and face-paint,
and drinking and silly costumes, and drink-ing
and parades, and doubloons and beads and
more drinking. "Throw me something mister!
Can't somebody tell me where a bathroom is?"
More parades and more drinking and Fat Tuesday.
"Alright, now I believe in two week parties.
Where the hell is the car?"
Money problems. "I don't know what hap-pened,
just last week I had a positive balance in
my checking account! A short term student loan?
284
How do you get the money to pay it back?" To
the Bursar with a rescue check from home. "Sorry,
11
I forgot my I.D. Can't you just write down the
number? But I waited on line for half an hour!"
Sorry, do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred
dollars.
Spring time. Lying in the sun listening to music.
"The books? They make great pillows!" The fes-tivals
— traveling to remote parts of Louisiana —
"Where's Pontchatoula?" New Orleans Jazz and
Heritage Festival — so much talent in one place.
"What do the Neville Brothers, Pete Seeger and
Gatemouth Brown have in common? B.B. King?
Fats Domino? I've heard of them! Look at all this
mud! Are topsiders washable?" Wishing for the
beach. "Pensacola? I really have to study. Oh
well, maybe I can bring my notes!"
Finals—a mass migration to the Howard Tilton
Memorial Library. "A 'C? Oh well, I knew the
teacher didn't like me." Exams end, and all
wordly possessions are sold, lost, given away or
packed up for next year. "Fun? I guess I had a good
time. I wish August would hurry up and get here!"

Fun in the Sun
makes you pay extra for food you leave on your
plate. We admire our tans after dinner and those of
us who haven't fallen asleep heati out to the local
hot spots to try to pick up girls from LSU, or Arkan-sas,
or Texarkana, or someplace like that. Won't
anyone ever realize that those empty-headed
skinny blondes aren't the least bit interested in
scrawny little Jewish boys from TU?!
So, if you didn't bring a sweetheart of your own,
you should realize by Saturday morning that your
big weekend of sun, sand, surf and sex is really a
big weekend of sun, sand and surf. Make the best
of it.
Nevertheless, it is the perfect getaway. The
sands are the whitest imaginable and the water is
cool and crystal clear. If you choose your com-pany
carefully, (never go with more than thirteen
of your best friends and don't share a room with
anyone too nerdy) you can return Monday golden
brown with a fresh outlook on life.
And no matter what, you're gonna peel. — Doug Nadjari
It happens at about the same time every year.

A Message
From the
President
The past year has been an extraordinarily good one for
Tulane. For whatever reason, most members of the Tu-lane
community were happier to be here this year than at
any time during the recent past, and prouder as well.
The factors contributing to the heightened sense of
community are too numerous for me to list, but a few
deserve mention . The football team's remarkable success
brought us together in a new way last fall and reminded us
of all the other exciting things going on at Tulane. We also
received substantial challenge grants from the Mellon
Foundation and the National Endowment for the Hu-manities,
grants whose effects will soon be visible
throughout the University.
One of our students received a Luce Fellowship, the
first we have ever received, and another Tulanian was a
finalist in the competition. A third student received a
Thomas Watson Fellowship. These awards, coming on
topof our first Rhodes Scholarship and Nobel Prize, both
awarded in the last three years, are clear indications that
the academic community recognizes our strong claim to
national prominence. There is a sense of forward move-ment
on the Tulane campus, movement captured and
preserved in The Jambalaya. Enjoy it.

Tulane University, like the city to which it is
undeniably bound, combines a desire to uphold
the traditions of the past with a commitment to
prepare for the future. Students continually
evaluate the university and their input is vital to
its development. The 1979-80 school year has
been a period of growth for Tulane, as students
and adminstrators, united by a contagious en-thusiasm,
have substantially improved the
school.

Coming back to school in August is always reas-suringly
typical for upperclassmen. Fraternity
members invade Butler and J.L. dorms, staggering
under the weight of suitcases, offering their porter
services in hopes of picking up tips, or preferably
phone numbers. As upperclassmen, we greet
each other, grumbling about the humidity, sum-mer
jobs, and the hordes of incoming freshmen
that have invaded the campus. Orientation
leaders walking around with groups of freshmen
look like they wish someone would ask a ques-tion.
Torrential rain during registration officially
starts the new semester.
Earlier in August, Tulane fell under the national
spotlight because of a Playboy article entitled
"Sex and the Sons of the South." Lewd exploits of
Newcomb coeds were alluded to at length, and
the University was portrayed as a sexual haven for
"southern gentlemen." Most people affiliated
with the Tulane community found this pretty
amusing, but some students are still frantically
searching for the promiscuity they read about.
Our arrival on campus is not completely pleas-ant.
Overcrowded housing has forced many A&S
students to triple up in already small doubles, and
transfer women have been placed in Dominican
College dorms. Even the U.C. quad cannot pro-vide
escape, as it has been closed for reseeding.
Our spirits remain undaunted though, and early
semester partying is truly underway. The Boot and
Tin Lizzie's are quickly reestablished as the cam-pus
hangouts, and Greek parties provide more en-tertainment.
Sleep is of little importance.
Tanned and healthy-looking from the summer,
we walk to class barefoot, carrying around books
and notebooks not yet marred by the effects of an
"all-nighter." WTUL blasts from dorm room
speakers. Dogs, ignoring the "keep off sign, lay
on the quad in the sun, and we al I look towards the
new semester with anticipation.

Crime continues to be a major problem in
the uptown area and early in the month, an
L.S.U. student is raped outside the Delta Tau
Delta house. An assailant dubbed "The Kis-sing
Bandit" accosts several Newcomb stu-dents
and other uptown females, forcing them
to kiss him, and then fleeing. Tulane security,
taking all conceivable steps to protect the stu-dents,
institues a shuttle bus service for those
who would otherwise have to walk alone at
night. Additionally, Tulane increases the
campus police force, initiates Operation Stu-dent
Alert, and improves campus lighting. On
campus, at least, students can generally feel
safe.
The administration is also experiencing
some turmoil. Keith Rush of WSMB radio ac-cuses
President F. Sheldon Hackney of dis-missing
nineteen members of the faculty be-cause
they signed an anti-athletic petition.
Hackney categorically denied these allega-tions,
but Rush refuses to rescind his state-ments.
The Board of Administrators present
Hackney with another setback in the form of a
"no confidence" vote in Vice-President of
Development Gary Bayer. Bayer, one of
Hackney's early appointees is forced to re-sign,
against the wishes of the President. Stu-dents
and faculty alike speculate as to who is
really in charge of Tulane's affairs.

The Tulane football season starts off surprisingly
'well. Most of the fans attending the opening game
against Stanford do not really expect the Green
Wave to win, nor are they terribly concerned
about the outcome anyway. However, in the sec-ond
quarter, when Tulane pulls ahead 12-10, the
crowd looks interested. The Wave's 33-10 win
has students, faculty and alumni cheering wildly
in a standing ovation at the end of the game. The
possibility of a winning season no longer seems
like a hopelessly remote fantasy. However, the
loss to Rice the next week fortifies the skeptics'
belief that the Stanford win was merely a fluke.
The fans know better though, and the month ends
with the Wave standing at 3-1. The campus is
abundant with newly discovered football fans.
The Green Wave is not the only strong force this
month. Hurricane Frederic threatens to sweep
through New Orleans, resulting in the evacuation
of Alumnae Hall and incredibly long lines in the
supermarkets. Fortunately, all precautions proved
unnecessary, as the storm passes to the east, hit-ting
New Orleans with only winds and rain, it
enlivens a Wednesday night though, and the
movie on campus is appropriately entitled
"Frenzy."
Bruff food continues to attract derision and re-pel
students. A contract student pushes a "dead
man" in a wheelchair carrying a sign that reads
"Bruff kills" into the Bruff dining room. Their
small demonstration is greeted by cheers from
other students, but ARA officials react by confis-cating
their meal cards, probably a blessing in dis-guise.
The Associated Student Body has organized
a committee to the ARA program, but students
remain dissatisfied with campus food service.
17
"Wave Craze" is the prevailing spirit on cam-pus
as the Tulane football team continues to win,
both at home and on the road. Excitement in-creases
with the announcement that the home-coming
game against Ole Miss will be televised.
The Queen of the festivities, Debbie Cunning-ham,
is elected along with the court, and home-coming
preparations are underway. A large bon-fire
is planned to spark spirits in the stadium park-ing

Tulane is fortunate to have the opportunity to
host soviet dissident Alexander Ginzberg. Speak-ing
through a translator, Ginzberg emphasizes the
complete absence of human rights in the Soviet
Union. The audience listens in fascinated horror
to a detailed account of a country where no free-dom
of religion, press, speech or education exists.
Ginzberg, with much insight, warns that it is not
the people of the Soviet Union who are to be
feared. Rather, our concern should be about a re-gime
which takes away all the dignity and rights of
human beings.
Other campus organizations are active this
month too. CACTUS, after a long, hard search, has
finally selected Joseph B. Gordon as their new
executive director. The Tulane University Theater
begins its season with a production of Anton
Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, and John Poche is
elected as WTUL's new general manager. The
ASB is not idle either, as they have been debating
the issue of an extended Thanksgiving break.
Most noteworthy of all is the acclaim that the
Tulane Hullabaloo has earned. Earlier in the
month, the Associated Collegiate Press awarded
the paper the highest honor rating, that of All-
American. The Hullabaloo later receives the Pace-maker
award, distinguishing it as the finest col lege
weekly in the country.

November can only be called football
month at Tulane. Plans for the demolition of
Tulane Stadium have been finalized, and the
Administration holds a farewell party. Foot-ball
players, cheerleaders, and fans who had
made, or watched, football history there,
gather to bid the stadium farewell. They were
joined by students who admire the stadium
and the memory of its former glory. Now,
however, the stadium is not the only reminder
of Green Wave fame. Students are possessed
by an almost fanatical "Wave Craze" that has
rekindled spirit at Tulane.
Homecoming celebrations begin with a
bonfire as fans burn an Ole Miss Rebel in
effigy. Spirits and enthusiasm rise, as each
speaker thanks the cheering crowd for their
support. Superfest, a wet, muddy, and
thoroughly enjoyable party on the quad fol-lows
the next day as we all await Saturday's
big game.
The victory over Ole Miss is perfect. It is the
first televised game of the season, as the
crowd is well aware and the Green Wave is at
its best. Even the Associated Press takes
notice, and finally votes Tulane into their top
twenty.
An invitation to the Liberty Bowl in Mem-phis
is tremendously satisfying, but not even a
choice bowl bid can equal the excitement
over the L.S.U. game. The traditional rivalry is
supercharged this year as Tulane enters the
dome with a better record than L.S.U. Despite
warnings from Baton Rouge that the Green
Wave is sure "Tiger Bait," the campus feeling
is that a win is certainly possible. Even Presi-dent
Hackney wears an "L.S. Who?" t-shirt,
and buttons, shirts, and banners all over cam-pus
tell L.S.U. exactly where to go. To add to
the excitement, the contest receives last mi-nute
television coverage. The game sells out
the Superdome, and one banner typifies the
feeling of Wave fans: "Give me Liberty, but
first give me L.S.U."
The final score is a Wave roll over the Ti-gers,
24-13. This is only the second win over
L.S.U. since 1948, and Tulane students
couldn't have asked for more. With tails be-tween
their legs, the Tigers retreat to the loc-kers
as a sea of green and blue pours out onto
the field.

Student demonstrations at Tulane have been a
pretty rare occurance in the past decade. How-ever,
the Iranian hostage crisis, and the corre-sponding
feel ings of anger prompt students to take
some sort of action. A mild protest is staged, and
although it is small and peaceful, it shows that at
least some students are aware and concerned. The
demonstration is conducted in New Orleans' style
as Tulane students carry signs bearing slogans
such as, "Ayatollah is a Yat" and, "Go to Iran,
L.S.U."
Not all is grim on Tulane campus, though. The
Royal Lichtenstein Circus makes a spectacular ap-pearance
one Wednesday afternoon, amazing
and delighting onlookers. Even those who are
"too old for that sort of thing" cannot resist, and a
few even walk away carrying a balloon.
Papa John Creach also makes a grand appear-ance,
courtesy of the TUCP concert commitee.
His lively fiddle music is surpassed only by his
facial expressions as he dances. The night is musi-cal
entertainment at its best.

The administration and faculty have several
conflicts over salaries and the tenure problem
during the month. Once again, President
Hackney's authority is questioned. The prob-lems
however, are quickly and quietly settled.
Difficulties with tenure appointments are re-solved,
as the tenure committee finally de-termines
that the President is correct.
Political campaigning in New Orleans
climaxes this month with the election of Dave
Treen as governor. In keeping with the New
Orleans tradition, the elections are less than
totally honest, and many of the campaigns are
little more than mud-slinging sessions. The
new officials, however, seem to be refresh-ingly
free from the usual corruption.
The quiet singing of birds and the tolling of
Loyola's bells each morning have been re-placed
by the sounds of blasting and jack-hammers
as the stadium demolition gets
underway. The piles of debris on what was
once the football field serve as a sad reminder
of the demise of a magnificent stadium.

The Dixie Dregs come to campus, giving an
excellent performance of jazz-rock music. The
concert, a last chance to party before the end of
the semester, is a very enjoyable experience. It is
the perfect culmination of a very active semester
forT.U.C.P.
New Orleans has begun to prepare for the holi-day
season. Mr. Bimble, the best loved snowman
aside from Frosty, has made his perennial appear-ance
atop Maison Blanche, overlooking Canal
Street. Store window displays have been elabo-rately
designed as merchants prepare themselves
for the season rush. New Orleans is not exactly a
"winter wonderland," but that hasn't stifiled the
growing holiday spirit.
On campus, very little merry making goes on
while classes end and finals begin. Rather, dashing
to the library, drinking gallons of coffee, and mak-ing
last minute efforts to read five books in four
hours have become prevalent activities. Finally,
it's over, and exhausted, we embark on vacation,
swearing to not even think about another book
until next semester.
29
As we return to Tulane at the start of a new
decade, speculation on the future is rich in politi-cal
overtones. The Soviet invasion of Afghanastan
and President Carter's proposal to reinstate draft
registration has caused a lot of concern. Mar-riage,
graduate school, and emigration to Canada
are discussed as possible ways to avoid the draft.
Some students however, infuriated over the con-tinuing
hostage crisis in Iran, feel that it is time for
America to exert its military power. Tensions are
high as Carter threatens a U.S. boycott of the
JANUARY
Lauri 5tK«man
summer Olympics in Moscow if the Soviets do
not retreat.
On the campus however, the turmoil of the real
world seems somewhat remote, and life goes on
as usual. Basketball season is underway, and
amidst general mediocrity, the fans in the Freret
street gym see occassional flashes of brilliance,
foreshadowing future development. The usually
excellent Tulane Sailing Team again proves itself
by placing first in the Sugar Bowl Regatta. Tulane
La Crosse, too, looks forward to another outstand-ing
season.
Campus debate over the Tenure issue con-tinues
as the Senate ratifies the special report
presented to it by the Committee on Faculty Free-dom,
Tenure, and Responsibility. It is the commit-tee's
contention that President Hackney is assum-ing
too much power by vetoing already approved
tenures, and that it is inequitable to the faculty to
change standards for those already seeking ten-ure.
Colonel William Berridge, chief of Tulane
Police, announces his decision to retire at the end
of the semester. Since coming to Tulane in 1 975,
he has built a concerned, professional security
force that has reduced many types of crime on
campus. His presence will be missed.
A special Students Admissions Committee has
been formed to aid in the recruiting of applicants
to Tulane as the school seeks to improve its stu-dent
body. Other students are involved in a
heated debate over the presentation by TUCP of
the historically important but blatantly racist film,
"Birth of a Nation." ACT and BALSA organize a
demonstration against the showing of the film in
McAlister Auditorium. The movie is a historical
comment on life during Reconstruction, but has
become a symbolic statement for the Ku Klux
Klan. The film is shown despite a boycott by ACT
and BALSA, but these organizations do succeed
in making students aware of the intents of the
movie.
Karia Bonoff, along with guest Brock Walsh,
appears in McAlister Auditorium before a highly
enthusiastic audience. The concert is superb, as
she proves once again that she is a polished pro-fessional
but still an honestly emotional vocalist.

February brings still more changes in the
Administration as Vice-President for Finance
Larry Peterson announces that he is resigning
at the end of the semester. This is apparently
the result of a decision to combine the post
with that of Vice-President for Business, a
duty which Peterson does not care to handle.
The search for a successor has not yet begun.
Colonel Berridge has withdrawn his resigna-tion
as Chief of Campus Police; a welcome
surprise. A.R.A. experiences a shift in man-agement,
as Al Hommel assumes the position
of General Manager. The usual promises of
improvements in food service are reiterated,
but only time — or perhaps our stomachs —
will tell.
David Young is elected President of the
ASBand will be aided by a staff comprised of
Dave Schnider, Chuck Silverman, Bill Donius
and Ted Jones. The President of the A&S Sen-ate,
Taylor Bryant, organizes a faculty — stu-dent
picnic. The combination of Popeye's
Chicken and beer leads to just the right at-mosphere
for fraternizing between students
and professors. The Architecture School hosts
their annual Beaux Arts Ball, an outlandishly
entertaining Mardi Gras warm-up. Campus
Nite presents their annual show, which is
"Guys and Dolls" this year. The Tulane Sail-ing
Team wins the Windjammer Regatta, braving
terrible weather to defeat their able competition.
George Plimpton, a journalist who believes that
one must experience a story rather than just re-search
and write it, comes to Tulane under the
auspices of the Lyceum Committee. He relates
some of his adventures to a small but fascinated
audience, rounding out a month of busy activity
on campus.
The climbing spirit of Mardi Gras is sud-denly
dampered by the death of Henry Roe-land
Byrd, better known as Professor Long-hair.
People who have come to associate the
lively spirit that abounds at "Tipitina's" with
the loose and wild piano music of the "Fess"
will greatly miss this superb performer. He
was more than a musician, he was a legend;
the king of New Orleans jazz, rhythm, and
blues. His jazz funeral ushers him out with a
flourish, and simultaneously ushers in the
Mardi Gras season. Doubtless, he would have
wanted it that way.
F

B
RUARY
Mardi Gras season is officially here, and the
entire population of the city devotes itself to the
frantic pursuit of pleasure. The partying that was
dampered by the police strike last year is amply
compensated for. The city swells to four times its
original size as tourists swarm in in hordes to expe-rience
the renowned Carnival. We "natives"
laugh at their inexperience as we expertly navi-gate
around the Quarter, finding secret parking
spaces and local hangouts. Finally, it is Fat Tues-day,
and the city literally explodes with music,
parades, beads, and doubloons. The crowd unites
in a drunken frenzy, linked by the common desire
to have a good time. Costumes and painted faces
provide the anonymity necessary to truly go wild,
and New Orleans proves once again that it is in-deed
the city that care forgot.

"Direction", Tulane's annual speakers sympo-sium',
always brings fascinating personalities to
campus, and this year is no exception. Such nota-bles
as John Ehrlichman, George Gallup, Nora
Ephron, and Dr. Spock, among many others,
present their views on Government, Working,
Education and Lifestyles. As always, many dif-fering
opinions are expressed, sometimes in less
than friendly terms. The four nights of panelists
offer much insight into the theme "American So-ciety:
Crisis of Change". No one is really sure
where we are going or what to do about it, but
everyone certainly seems to have a lotto say about
it.
Last year, a group of Tulane students, dissatis-fied
with some aspects of the Hullabaloo, ob-tained
funds to start a second paper. According to
a recent poll of students, however, only 27%of
the response rated the Torch as excellent or good,
while 84% felt that the Hullabaloo is worthy of
such ratings. The Media Board has decided to
merge the two papers into a biweekly publication
but the Senate is withholding action until a further
study can be made.
The month is concluded with a three day musi-cal
extravaganza at the WTUL Rock On Survival
Marathon. The rain does not prevent the Tulane
community from jamming in the Kendall Cram
Room to hear such greats as Lil' Queenie, The
Cartoons, James Rivers, NRBQ, The Radiators,
and the Nevilles. In case that isn't enough music,
Bonnie Raitt performs to an ecstatic audience in
McAlisterAuditorium Sunday night. The weekend
is definitely "wet and wild".

April is festival time in New Orleans. Newcomb
has its Spring Fest and exhibits the talent of its
students. Julian Bond, a leadingCivil Rights Activ-ist,
comes to Tulane and speaks about black
rights. His sarcastic humor is quite effective and
the audience leaves inspired. Rain postpones the
Strawberry Festival, but it is held the next week-end
and is deliciously successful.
The New Orleans Jazz and FHeritage Festival is a
superb mixture of crafts, food and music. The mud
doesn't keep anyone away from the fairgrounds,
and it seems that all the Jazz greats are there. "Go
for it!" is the slogan of the two weekend event, and
that's exactly what the musicians do. Stage four is
dedicated to the memory of Professor Longhair,
and each artist to perform there seems intent on
paying tribute to that memorial. Jambalaya,
gumbo, and beer mix with Jazz, Rhythm and
Bluestoform the essence of New Orleans. As B.B.
King says to his cheering crowd, "Now I know
why jazz was born here." The music goes on dur-ing
the week in the theatres and aboard the river-boats.
It lingers at the Dew Drop Inn, and slowly
fades, only to explode at Tipitina's or on Bourbon
Street, or anywhere anyone can put together a
piano, a couple of horns, and a few people with
"rhythm in their souls."

Finals end at last, and most undegraduates de-part
home to await grades, and enjoy the sum-mer.
Seniors, however, are now without the pres-sure
of exams and are free to enjoy senior week.
For the adventurous, there is a tubing trip down
the Tangipahoa, roller skating in Audubon Park,
and a Beach Party at the Civic. There is a recep-tion
given by President Hackney, and another at
Alumni House. There is a night at "Nick's", one
at "Pat O'Brien's" and free beer at "Tin Lizzies".
Finally, it's Thursday, and there is crayfish and
Dixie on the quad to the excellent rock and roll of
"Sunshiny Daze". For those who can still stand,
there is a party on the President, followed by par-tying
at all the favorite local hangouts. Senior
Week is time to enjoy it all one last time before
going out into the cold, cruel world where some
bars actually close before six in the morning.

Graduations are held, speeches made, degrees
conferred, honors bestowed. The Class of 1980
leaves Tulane with the preparation necessary for
graduate schools or careers as architects, engi-neers,
businessmen, doctors, and lawyers. The
ones who made it with highest honors, and the
ones who barely made it at all, join together to
reflect upon their time at Tulane. Friends say
goodbye, and classes, exams, and professors are
left behind to the undergraduates. The memories
will remain with the seniors though, and next
year's class must create its own. We are looking
forward to it.

stadium Farewell
Tulane Stadium has fallen
into grave disrepair during
the last five years, and the
administration has started to
tear down the 53 year old
brick and steel structure. The
first plans for the demolition
came in 1 978, as a part of the
Sasaki plan for University de-velopment.
Although it was seldom
used for sporting events after
the construction of the
Superdome, it was used for
Intramural activities, and
high school football games
that were played every Satur-day
night. However, when
Jordan Enterprises brought its
cranes and blow torches to
Willow Street, the fun ended.
Now, the Sugar Bowl is a
pile of twisted beams, broken
bricks, and many memories.
6401 Willow will be missed
by one and all.
75
Once one of the finest college facilities in the na-tion,
Tulane Stadium was the world's largest steel sta-dium,
with a seatingcapacity of over 80,000.
Before this year's demolition, the sports fans of New
Orleans had the chance to view historic events, such
as Tom Dempsey's world record field goal of 63
yards, andTulane's 14-0 victory over LSU in 1973. In
addition, the stadium was the home of the Sugar Bowl
Classic, which was played every New Year's day from
its inception in 1 935, until it moved to the Superdome
in 1975.
From high school to professional football, concerts
to its own funeral, Tulane Stadium was the home of
New Orleans entertainment.

With a roof 680 feet in diameter and 27 stories
high, the Superdome has been the home of Green
Wave football since 1975. The Dome also houses
the New Orleans Saints, and recently a baseball
series between the Baltimore Orioles and the New
York Yankees, for the benefit of Tu lane athletics.
Over 80,000 people attended the two game se-ries,
a new record for baseball in Louisiana. An-other
attendance record was set, when 75,000 peo-ple
saw Tulane defeat LSU. This was a record for
people watching a coHege football game in the
Dome. The Superdome: a place where sports fans
can watch their team play, without getting rained
on.

New Era Begins With Shocking Upset
The 1979 football season was a crossroad asfarasTulane
athletics was concerned. During recent seasons, poor stu-dent
support and lack of attendance, as well as pressure from
the faculty to drop football, showed a dissatisfaction with
Tulane athletics in general.
The school had been plagued by poor teams in the past,
with Coach Larry Smith's football teams only winning nine
games in the last three years. People were beginning to
doubt his ability to produce a winner, but athletic director
Hindman Wall had faith in Coach Smith.
The first indication that this would not be just another
losing season came in the opener against Stanford. Pre-season
polls ranked the Cardinals 1 3th in the nation, and this
game was touted as the beginning of a "new era" in Tulane
athletics. The Wave proved that it was capable of playing
quality football by trouncing Stanford, 33-10, in the Super-dome
before 41 ,000 fans.
Both offensively and defensively, the Green ies executed
to perfection. The decisive play came early in the second
quarter, with Stanford leading, 10-7. Following a 44-yard
punttothe Cardinal one by Roch Hontas, defensive linemen
Wilfred Simon and Kevin Cole sacked Cardinal quarterback
Turk Schonert in the endzone for a safety. This play set up a
field goal by Ed Murray to give the Wave a 12-10 lead which
lasted until halftime.
In the second half, Tulane's defense completely shut
down the Cardinal attack, allowing only four first downs and
six yards rushing overall. The Wave offense moved at will,
led by the quarterbacking of Roch Hontas.
Hontas was a one-man wrecking crew on this particular
night, carrying the ball 19 times for 75 yards and one touch-down,
and completing 1 4 of 27 passes for 1 39 yards and two
more scores.
Many die-hard Tulane supporters were surprised and
pleased at the way the Wave handled the Cardinals. People
were already talking Top Twenty and bowl games after only
one outing. But there were still a few lessons the Wave had
to learn before becoming a consistent winning team.

y\ L^S§dh Learned, 'i
Hapless Owls Win
Rice
Tulane

The Wave learned one of these lessons the following
week — courtesy of the Rice Owls. After taking a 14-7 lead
athalftime, the Wave came out flat in the second half. An Ed
Murray field goal made the score 1 7-7 , before Owl quarter-back
Randy Hertel opened fire.
By the time the smoke had cleared, Hertel had completed
24 of 36 passes, and given Rice a 21-17 lead. The Wave had
a chance to come back and win, but Hontas' pass into the
end zone in the closing seconds was intercepted.
The Rice victory was the Owls' only win of the season,
and it left the Green Wave fans stunned. The spirit and en-thusiasm
of a week ago was now clouded with doubt, won-dering
if the win over Stanford had been a fluke. The Wave's
1-1 record, which would have been accepted two weeks
ago, was now considered mediocre.
However, the defeat would not turn out to be a total loss
for Tulane. The team had learned that they could not afford
to take any opponent lightly. This lesson would prove bene-ficial
to the Wave during the course of the season.
84
Greenies Capture
Sweet Revenge
Tulane returned toTexas the following week, looking
for revenge and a chance to regain their winning form. A
year ago, the Wave suffered a humiliating 1 3-7 Home-coming
defeat at the hands of the Texas Christian Uni-versity
Horned Frogs, a team that had won only four
games in the past four years.
The Wave trailed 9-0 early, and it looked as if Tulane
was continuing its lackluster performance of a week
ago. Finally, Hontas got the offense clicking on a long
drive. With Marvin Christian and Reggie Reginelli lead-ing
the way, the Greenies scored two second quarter
touchdowns to trim the Frogs' lead to one, 1 6-15.
In the second half, TCU could not stop Tulane as the
Wave rolled to a 33-1 9 win.
Marvin Christian turned in his finest effort of the sea-son,
and it seemed like Tulane might be turning things
around. What many people didn't realize was just how
much this victory would mean for the Wave.

Mad Dog
Tramples;
Tulane Triumphs
With the second win of the season under their belt, the
Green Wave played host to the undefeated and 20th ranked
SMU Mustangs (3-0).
During this game the Wave found a new hero: Reggie
Reginelli, who carried nine times for 88 yards, caught five
passes for 43 more yards, and had a key 51 -yard punt return
in the fourth quarter. Marvin Christian had his second good
outing, gaining 107 yards and scoring two touchdowns, in-cluding
the winner from 1 9 yards out.
Tulanedominated the first half, roaring to a 17-7 halftime
lead. They then recovered an SMU fumble following the
kickoff, and found themselves in a position to ice the game
with another score.
But SMU's defense held, Ed Murray's field goal attempt
was aborted by a bad snap, and the Mustangs charged back
to tie the score at 17-1 7, before Christian's run capped the
victory.
As the closing seconds ticked off the clock, the Tulane
players could be heard chanting, "Twenty!, Twenty!" They
soon found out it was not that easy.

Tulane
Vanderbilt
The Green Wave matched their win total of a year
ago, in their game against Vanderbilt, trouncing the
hapless Commodores, 42-14. This victory marked the
first time that a Smith-coached Tulane team had w/on
three straight games, and raised the Greenies' mark to
4-1.
Tulane jumped to a 21 -0 halftime lead on the pass-ing
of Roch Hontas and the receiving of Alton Alexis.
Alexis broke the Tulane career record for most pass
receptions, with the record-setter coming on a first
quarter nine-yard touchdown pass.
Hontas had another excellent game, hitting on 18
of 24 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns.
Hontas was also named the Associated Press South-eastern
Back of the Week for the second time in five
games.
Tulane would now take their 4-1 record on the road
for the next two weeks, hoping to impress the pollsters
and earn a place in the Top Twenty.

Eagles Fall Short
As Wave Rolls On
Late in the second quarter in Hattiesburg, it looked as
thoughTulane'sthreegame winning streak was in jeop-ardy.
The Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi had
jumped to a 1 3-0 lead over the Wave and seemed to be
in complete control.
However, this year's Tulane team would not collapse
as its predecessors had done in seasons past. Led by the
offensive mastermind, Roch Hontas, the offense rallied
to the challenge.
Hontas connected on touchdown passes in the sec-ond
and third quarter, with Ed Murray converting the
all-important PAT's, to give Tulane a 14-1 3 fourth quar-ter
lead.
But the 3-2 Eagles were no pushovers either. Quarter-back
Dane McDaniel led Southern Mississippi back,
taking his team on a long drive, for a 19-14 lead with less
than three minutes left in the game.
The Wave rebounded as Hontas cranked up a des-peration
drive. It was capped by his record-breaking
twelfth touchdown pass of the season, to freshmen re-ceiver
Robert Moses, giving Tulane a 20-1 9 lead with a
scant 30 seconds remaining.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Golden Eagle receiver
lateraled to a teammate near the sidelines, who raced all
the way to the Tulane 10.
The play was nullified by a penalty, and the Eagles
missed a 41 -yard field goal as time ran out.
Bowl Bid Stalled
By Mountaineers
Students and fans alike scanned the papers Tuesday
morning, hoping to find that their 5-1 Tulane team had
broken into the Top Twenty. They were disappointed
once again — the Wave was not included in the rank-ings.
Tulane traveled to little Morgantown, West Virginia
on Saturday, looking to make it five in a row, and clinch
their first winning season since 1 973. The Mountaineers
(3-4) entered the game on a three game winning streak
of their own.
The game started off as most of the Wave's games this
season had, with Tulane falling behind 10-0 in the first
quarter. The offense came alive in the second quarter,
and the teams were tied 1 7-1 7 at half.
But this just was not the Wave's day. The weather was
perfect, the field was perfect and on this day, the Moun-taineers
were perfect. The Wave defense couldn't stop
the Mountaineers' young backfield, and West Virginia
gained an impressive 377 yards rushing.
West Virginia turned a couple of Wave turnovers and
a long touchdown pass into a 22-1 7 victory, giving the
Wave their second loss of the season.

Defense
Rebounds
In Crucial Win
The Tulane defense rebounded against the Yellow-jackets,
attempting to make amends for a poor showing
the previous week. They attacked with vengeance,
keeping Georgia Tech off the scoreboard until the final
period, and winning 12-7.
This victory secured the Wave's winning season, up-ping
their record to a fine 6-2.
In addition to the excellent defensive performance,
the offense was sparked by the play of junior running
back Terry Harris. Harris gained 109 yards, including a
40-yard run to the Tech three in the third quarter. Tulane
scored on the next play to take a 1 2-0 lead.
Tulane hoped that this win was the start toward the
final stretch run, as fans and team alike began looking
forward to a possible bowl bid.

With Aerial Attack
For the first time in a number of years, Tulane was
faced with adverse weather conditions. It had been rain-ing
steadily in Boston since Friday, where the Wave was
preparing to play the Boston College Eagles.
Still, wide receiver Darrel Griffin and the rest of the
offense seemed to have no problem with the cold, mis-erable
weather, as Tulane blasted the Eagles, 43-8.
Tulane started early this time, scoring field goals on
their first two possessions by capitalizing on numerous
Eagle turnovers. A touchdown made the score 1 2-0 Tu-lane
after the first quarter.
Then the aerial fireworks began, with Hontas com-pleting
three touchdown passes to give the Wave a 33-0
stranglehold over Boston College.
After upping the score to 40-0, the Eagles finally got
on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, ending with a
score of 43-8.
With a 7-2 record and an impressive offensive dis-play,
Tulane seemed a su re bet to make the Top Twenty.
However, once again they were passed up by the poll-sters.
So the Wave looked to their next game, the Home-coming
encounter with the Ole Miss Rebels, to place
Tulane in the rankings.

The 15th ranked Green Wave entered their first bowl
game in six years with high expectations and hopes of
making Tulane football known around the nation. The
Penn State Nittany Lions, a perennial bowl participant,
were to be the Wave's opposition.
The Tulane team was placed in a disadvantageous posi-tion
from the outset against the stronger Lions. The field
was saturated from the heavy rains that had been falling
throughout the weekend. This was not to the advantage of
Tulane's finesse-oriented offense.
After a scorelees first quarter, the Penn State offense
began to drive on the Tulane defense. However, the
scrappy Wave defenders did not give in, holding the Lions
to only two field goals in the first half.
Trailing 6-0 at the half, Tulane responded with a three-pointer
of their own from Ed Murray closing to within three.
With less than four minutes remaining, the Wave began
their final drive.
Three completions for first downs by Roch Hontas
moved Tulane to the Penn State eight yard line. The
Creenies were unable to push it across for a touchdown,
and had to settle for a tying field goal with less than a
minute left.
The Nittany Lions then turned a sure tie into a Green
Wave defeat on a single play. A 39-yard completion on a
halfback pass broke the Wave's secondary, setting up Penn
State for the winning field goal and a 9-6 victory.
Although the Wave failed to capture their second Liberty
Bowl trophy, their performance left no doubt that Tulane
football was for real, and that Tulane fans will have some-thing
to look forward to in 1980.
For Tulane Basketball, 1 979-80 was to be a season of false
hopes. Promises of an improved team were dealt a severe
blow early in the season, when senior center Bobby Jones
was lost for the season with a knee injury.
Early season performances indicated that a winning team
was just around the corner. A one-point loss to 8th-ranked
LSU showed that Tulane was capable of playing excellent
basketball.
Much of the reason for the poor record was that Tulane
was playing a much tougher schedule than ever before. In
addition to playing LSU twice, the Wave's schedule in-cluded
the likes of post-season tournament participants
Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida State, Louisville, and Vir-ginia
Tech with the last three facing Tulane twice in the
course of the season. From these six teams came ten of the
Green Wave's seventeen losses of the season.
Although there was little improvement in terms of wins
and losses (1 0-1 7 as compared to last year's 8-1 9), there was
marked progress in thecaliberof basketball displayed by the
team. Many of the losses could have gone either way, such
as close contests that went to Louisville (64-60), Virginia
Tech (69-68), LSU (80-79) and Michigan (72-71 ).
In addition to the loss of Jones, the Green Wave was
forced to compete without the services of senior Carlos
Zuniga, due to academic reasons. This left only one senior
Gary Lorio, to provide experience and leadership.
The needed leadership and promise for the future was to
come, however not from one of the older experienced play-ers
on the team, but from a freshman, 6'6" forward Paul
Thompson from Alexandria.
Thompson, a reserve in the early stages of the season
earned himself a place in thestartinglineup when Jones was
injured, and proceeded to lead the team in scoring and re-bounding.
From his performance Thompson was named Freshman
of the Year in the Metro Conference and landed a place on
the second team of the Freshman All-American Squad.
Sophomore Joe Holston provided scoring and playmak-ing
from guard position where he was teamed with defen-sive
specialist Reggie MacLaurin. Sophomore Micah Blunt
was moved to forward from center late in the season and
performed credibly after suffering through a poor second
year. Junior Eric Dozier moved to the pivot position late in
the season and held his own against the much taller centers
of the conference.
With the loss of only one senior, the Tulane basketball
team should be in a position to make it over the top and
become a winning team next year.

was two consecutive victories over the LSU Ben-gals. The
first win was a 1 5-3, 1 5-1 3, 15-11 upset in the Freret Street
gymnasium. . . thanks to the efforts of freshmen Terri Har-vey
and Patti Boerner.
When tournament time came around, Upperclassman
Ann Bruder, Brenda LeBlanc and Lilliana Posoda used their
experience to drive home a 1 5-3, 1 5-6, 1 5-1 win over the
Ben-gals in the state finals.

Women's Basketball
Despite a harder schedule, and a young inexperienced
team, Karen Womack coached her women's basketball
team to a 16-11 season.
The obvious high point of the season was the surprise
third place finish in the First Women's Metro Basketball
Tournament. However, their luck was not so good in the
L.A.I.A.W. tournament, with the women suffering a 75-52
defeat at the hands of McNeese State, ending the season.
Sophomore Terry Johnson had a spectacular year,
scoring 548 points at a 1 0.2 points per game clip. From the
field she hit 51% of her shots, while shooting 69% from the
foul line. Johnson finished the regular season fifth in
scoring, and fourth in rebounding, with 248 in the state.
She now has 889 career points.
Junior Patricia "O.J." Toujouse made a significant
improvement from last year's 9.16 points per game to 12
points per game. Aside from being the second leading
scorer on the team, O.J. broke the all-time record for the
most points in one game, with an outstanding 58.
The only senior on the squad, Barbara Klingman, used
her experience to help balance the eight other freshmen
and sophomores, playing smart basketball at both ends of
the court. Klingman was the first player recruited by
Womack, and the first woman to receive an athletic
scholarship.
Although the team played an extremely hard schedule,
playing teams such as South Alabama,
Alabama-Birmingham, Houston, Arkansas, and traditional
rival LSU, the team improved, and matured as a whole.
Tulane increased its shooting percentage to 44% from the
floor and 65.7% from the foul line. Team rebounding
increased from 34 to 37 per game.
Tulane finished the regular season state-wide fifth in
scoring, fourth in team defense and field goal percentage,
and third in win margin and record.

Swimming
The 1979-1980 swimming program began in September.
Some forty individuals, under the supervision of coaches Peter
Orschiedt and Ben Goslin, met at six a.m. in Tulane Stadium to
run laps, to climb steps and to do vigorous calisthenics. In the
beginning of November, morning workouts in the pool were
substituted for practices in the Stadium, and the team was
trimmed to 25 swimmers. A long season lay ahead of the young
team, composed mostly of freshmen. The first meet was on No-vember
10, the last in March.
The team did not perform well in the fall meets. More work
was needed and Christmas training was the solution. While the
rest of the University's population vacationed around the coun-try,
the team swam twice a day, seven days a week. The work
paid off, as was shown by the team's upset victories over LSU and
Houston, both ranked in the Top 20 in the country.
The Metro Championships in Blacksburg, Virginia culminated
the season for the Green Wave swimmers. Five new school
records were set, all by freshmen: Jerry Watson in the 200-yard
backstroke, Jimmy Flowers in the 200-yard breaststroke, Wayne
Viola in the 50-yard freestyle, and Kevin Switzer in the 200-yard
and 500-yard freestyle. Climaxing a fine collegiate career, senior
Randy Espenshied won
the 1 00-yard freestyle,
and was the meet's lone
qualifier for the NCAA's.

Sailing
Saturday mornirrg after a night out in the
Quarter finds most college students sacked out
in bed asleep, but there are no mornings after
for a certain group of Tulanians. Every
weekened at 8:00 a.m., bleary-eyed Tulane
sailors gather in front of the \JC to go out and
battle the shifty winds and constantly changing
conditions of Lake Ponchartrain in their search
for a place in the best intercollegiate sailing
teams.
The Tulane team, composed this year pri-marily
of Sophomores, continued in the Tulane
tradition of high quality in intercollegiate sail-ing
competition, achieving a ranking among
the top three teams in the nation. This was a
remarkable feat for an entirely self-coached
team in dire need of money and facing such
teams as Navy, Tufts and King's Point. Tulane
sailors consistently achieved high places in
various team and single-handed regattas
throughout the year.

Tulane played its first rugby match
on a cold, windy Christmas Day in
1888. This was rugby's birth at Tulane.
However, the game changed quickly
into American football with the cre-ation
of the Southern Ath letic Associa-tion
in 1890. Rugby did not reappear
on the Tulane campus until 1967
when a group of Medical students
formed today's Tulane University
Rugby Football Club. In the thirteen
years the club has prospered under the
leadershipof many coaches and, since
1 976, the fine administrative guidance
of Dr. Rix Yard. The Tulane University
Rugby team competes in many state,
national and international rugby
matches continuing the tradition of a
sound mind in the sound, but some-times
intoxicated, body of the student
athlete.
169
Lacrosse
The Tulane Lacrosse Club had an enjoyable year enrich-ing
their reputation as the Powerhouse of the South West-ern
Lacrosse Association.
Several important players from the previous year's club
returned for the 1980 season. Kenny Cook, John Carcelon
and Steve Janeck preseiA^ed the strength and ability at mid-field,
while newcomers such as Joe Conroy and attacker
George Kelley fortified other positions. Freshman Ben Ger-shouwitz
was a standout in the goalie circle.
Not only did the Wave stickers play admirably in the
S.W.L.A., but they also chalked up wins against Houston,
Texas Tech, and arch-rival LSU.

Gymnastics
The Tulane Gymnastics Club, coached by Betsy
Dyer, has been in existance since the early 70's. This
year the gymnastics team has been quite busy. Added to
their regular schedule was the University of Southeast-ern
Louisiana. This increased the season to six meets.
The team easily won all the matches this season.
Other activities included exhibitions to local schools.
Some members of the team also taught faculty and chil-dren.
The Tulane Gymnastic Club can look forward to
much more future success as long as the sport of gym-nastics
is on the rise and the team continues to have
such talented students.
One special addition to this year's club was Lucy
Elizabeth Dyer, born March 6, 1 980. Being the daughter
of the coach, she will be sure to become a fine gymnast
and eventually be on the Tulane team.

Yearbook Turmoil Ends
In Editor's Resignation
Under pressure from the
Media Board and his
displeased yearbook staff,
Jacob Frenkcl has resigned
as editor of the 1980
Jambalaya.
Frenkel presented his lelier of
resignation at Tuesday's meeting
of the Media Board. At its
previous meeting, Ihe Board had
requested that Fienkel quit as
editor.
Citing Frenkel's frequeni
prolonged absences from
campus. Board members
questioned his ability to properly
manage ihe yearbook's
operations. Jambalaya staff
members also were dissatisfied
with Frenkel's leadership, an
opinion expressed by the
executive staff in a recent vote of
no^onfidence.
Frenkel eventually acquesccd
to the Board's wishes, but related
thit he will continue to work
"towards one end, the successful
production and completion of
the 1980 Jambalaya." He feels
Ihe "Media Boatd has an
alternate end in mind as
indicated by the desire to replace
the mdividual who has pledged
to achieve this end."
He would not, however,
specify or elaborate what other
purposes the Board might have in
seeking his resignation.

Kottler is Named Jambalaya Editor
TuUne Hullibaloo StatI Willci
A lengthy period of
uncertainty and internal dissent
within the 1980 staff was ended
/iiesday with the confirmation
by the Media Board of Bob
Kottler as Jambalaya editor.
Kottler, a junior in (he
Business School, had been acting
editor for the past three weeks
since Jacob Frenkel. responding
to his displeased staff and
pressure from the Media Board,
bowed out as editor-in-chief.
Frenkel, who was often away
from campus this semester, was
unable to manage the yearbook
efficiently, the staff felt- The
Media Board agreed, and called
for Frenkel's resignation.
"We've had our problems."
noted Kottler. "but things are
fmally coming together. We've
already met our first deadline,
and book sales arc up."
"I have no doubt." he added.
"that with a little work we will
be able to dehver a top quality

WTUL
Dear Students,
Being that this is the first time (and most likely the last) that I'll
be allowed to express myself in the public prints on anything, I
would like to address first, WTUL; and second, non-commercial
radio in general.
This was a very good year for WTUL. We made lots of money,
bought lots of new equipment to play with, put a new tower up
on top of Monroe, and made the Marathon one of the best parties
in recent memory. In short, a rollicking good time was had by all.
Asfor non-commercial radio . . . More than likely, wherever
you find yourself, you'll be able to tune in to a college-run station
like 'TUL. Listen to it, support it, and tell your friends about it.
See you i n the wi Id blue yonder.
Yours in mirth,
John PocheC.M.

Fencing
Members of Tulane's Fencing Club work hard at
becoming adept in the art of dueling, or more acura-tely,
swordmanship.
Fencing as a sport requries the utmost devotion and
long hours of practice. Tulane fencers put in ten hours
or more a week on the practice strip to prepare them-selves
for various competitions throughout the year.
This year's Fencing Club sponsored three major re-gional
competitionsduringthefall and springand had
a very satisfying year.
The coed Tulane team chosen for the first competi-tion
of the year, in October, finished second overall,
in spite of the fact that all the fencers on the team were
under nineteen.
The Mardi Gras Fencing Tournament was a huge
success, drawing participants from all over the South.
Unfortunately Tulane did not do as well as hoped,
but sti II put in a strong showi ng.
The club also participates in several out of town
engagements each year, not to mention many in-club
contests.

Exploring the quiet Louisiana bayous through pure stands of cypress
and the fantastic variety of wildlife.
Learning the basic skills which allow you to follow the path set by the
water around the natural obstacles of rocks and trees,
Broadening your horizons by seeing the places where a retreat from
the city sets the mind at ease.
Camping under the sea of stars in the Mexican desert along the Rio
Grande,
Gaping at the 1 500 foot walls of the Santa Elena Canyon knowing that
once you enter there is only one way out,
Having your heart pound as you pick your way through the rushing
white water of North Carolina,
Feeling tired but satisfied after a long day.

The rain pours down and we
walk to class under umbrellas with
our books in plastic bags. Classes
end, and still the rain pours down.
We carry our shoes and roll upour
jeans, splashing through puddles.
The rain continues to pour down,
and we go outside to slide in the
mud on the quad, getting wet and
filthy and loving it. Cars start to
float down McAlister Drive, and
still the rain pours down. No one
really cares though, after all, this is
New Orleans.

School Days
"Hi, What's your name? Where are you from?
Why did you come to Tulane? What dorm are you
staying in? How's your roommate? Where's the
U.C.? What's your major? Can I borrow your Nor-ton
Reader? I just don't understand, I used to get
A's in high school."
Hanging out on the quad. "Where did all these
dogs come from and why do they have bandanas
around their necks? Let's play frisbee. How do you
throw this thing?" U.C. step sitting or staring out
your dorm room window. "What am I doing
here?"
Eating on campus, an unforgettable experience.
The Parlor: "Two scoops of cottage cheese and a
'Tab'." The Rat: "A pepperoni pizza and a pitcher
of beer." The cafeteria: "What is it? Never mind,
I'd rather not know."
The hidden treasures of the U.C. Clubs and or-ganizations,
A.S.B., Publication Alley. Worthless
items in the bookstore, charged home. "A bar-bershop?
A pool room. A pool! Is it ever open?
Sabfrna Bunks
Why's that boat in a glass case?" Entertainment on
campus: concerts, movies, speakers, T.G.I.F.s.
You can always watch it rain.
Checking the mail — for the fourth time that
day. "Well, they might have had a late delivery."
On to the library to study — each other. "The
Boot? O.K., but just one drink and then I really
have to hit the books."
Football season. "A coat and tie to a football
game? A Hell of a Hull a ba — what?! What did
they mean when they said we were 'Tiger bait'?"
Food and alcohol —two unsurpassed pleasures
in New Orleans. "What do you mean there are
washing machines in the back of the bar? Jed?
Wasn't he on the Beverly Hillbilly's? If I made up
the name of the drink, will they still know how to
make it at Nick's?" Omelettes at the Grill, shrimp
po' boys at Domilise's, salads at Baxters. "How
was I supposed to know that dressed meant with
mayonnaise? A cold drink? We used to call them
sodas!" Dirty floors, chipping paint, and the best
food you ever tasted.
Mardi Gras. "A two week party? I don't believe
it." Drinking and sequins, and drinking and face-paint,
and drinking and silly costumes, and drink-ing
and parades, and doubloons and beads and
more drinking. "Throw me something mister!
Can't somebody tell me where a bathroom is?"
More parades and more drinking and Fat Tuesday.
"Alright, now I believe in two week parties.
Where the hell is the car?"
Money problems. "I don't know what hap-pened,
just last week I had a positive balance in
my checking account! A short term student loan?
284
How do you get the money to pay it back?" To
the Bursar with a rescue check from home. "Sorry,
11
I forgot my I.D. Can't you just write down the
number? But I waited on line for half an hour!"
Sorry, do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred
dollars.
Spring time. Lying in the sun listening to music.
"The books? They make great pillows!" The fes-tivals
— traveling to remote parts of Louisiana —
"Where's Pontchatoula?" New Orleans Jazz and
Heritage Festival — so much talent in one place.
"What do the Neville Brothers, Pete Seeger and
Gatemouth Brown have in common? B.B. King?
Fats Domino? I've heard of them! Look at all this
mud! Are topsiders washable?" Wishing for the
beach. "Pensacola? I really have to study. Oh
well, maybe I can bring my notes!"
Finals—a mass migration to the Howard Tilton
Memorial Library. "A 'C? Oh well, I knew the
teacher didn't like me." Exams end, and all
wordly possessions are sold, lost, given away or
packed up for next year. "Fun? I guess I had a good
time. I wish August would hurry up and get here!"

Fun in the Sun
makes you pay extra for food you leave on your
plate. We admire our tans after dinner and those of
us who haven't fallen asleep heati out to the local
hot spots to try to pick up girls from LSU, or Arkan-sas,
or Texarkana, or someplace like that. Won't
anyone ever realize that those empty-headed
skinny blondes aren't the least bit interested in
scrawny little Jewish boys from TU?!
So, if you didn't bring a sweetheart of your own,
you should realize by Saturday morning that your
big weekend of sun, sand, surf and sex is really a
big weekend of sun, sand and surf. Make the best
of it.
Nevertheless, it is the perfect getaway. The
sands are the whitest imaginable and the water is
cool and crystal clear. If you choose your com-pany
carefully, (never go with more than thirteen
of your best friends and don't share a room with
anyone too nerdy) you can return Monday golden
brown with a fresh outlook on life.
And no matter what, you're gonna peel. — Doug Nadjari
It happens at about the same time every year.
The papers and reading assignments are mounting
up, most of us are either trashing an old romance
or embarking upon a new one, (it really makes no
difference) and we need to escape, even for just a
little while. Spring break is per
